TO everyone that thinks I may be mixed up: I am not the one to make this claim that he was married. I will repost the following that I found online:
Gilad Shalit was a newlywed at the time of his abduction. While tragic events such as what Gilad has had to endure is overbearingly difficult to contend with, it is certainly the young wife that suffers more than her fair share.
In the first few days after the abduction, Fox News anchor John Gibson spoke with Gilad’s wife, the interview of which was extraordinarily traumatic. Gilad’s wife ran the gamut of emotional distress, hysteria, incoherence, madness, poor girl, to such a degree Fox had no choice but to immediately stop the interview.
I thought of her, her difficult plight through these past years, but don’t recall a single instance of her ever again being interviewed by the media after the initial Fox interview. And now with the great news of Gilad’s release seemingly in the works, my thoughts of her, the terrible ordeal she’s had to endure now finally hopefully coming to an end began to get my curiosity. I had hoped of getting a glimpse of her on TV along with family members celebrating the joyous news but despite going from channel to channel she was nowhere to be found. I then did an extensive google search specifically “Gilad Shalit’s Wife” in parenthesis but despite going through pages and pages of search results I could not find anything that mentioned his wife. Even worse, was that even after removing the parenthesis from the search term, allowing “wife” to be set free as a search parameter, NOT ONCE, was there any search results linking Gilad Shalit to a wife.
