French ambassador to visit Shalit tent in Jerusalem
None
French Ambassador to Israel Christophe Bigot will visit Noam and Aviva Shalit at their protest tent outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem on Wednesday, following the cabinet's approval of a prisoner exchange deal securing their son Gilad's release from Hamas captivity.
Gilad Shalit has a French citizenship. His father Noam spoke to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who expressed his hope that the deal between Israel and Hamas would be materialized. (Ronen Medzini)
