Egyptian sources doubtful Grapel to be freed prior to completion of Shalit deal
None
Egyptian diplomats expressed their doubt regarding the pending release of imprisoned US-Israeli citizen Ilan Grapel from Cairo prison held on espionage charges. They claimed he probably will not be freed before the completion of the Shalit deal.
According to the report by Egypt's Al-Haram newspaper, the sources did not rule out the possibility that negotiations to free Grapel will begin earlier. (Elior Levy)
