Noam and Aviva Shalit, the parents of Gilad Shalit, expressed satisfaction over the decision reached on Wednesday by the National Security Cabinet, placing the release of Gilad Shalit above all other matters between Israel and Hamas.
The Shalits commend the ministers for their bold decision, which they feel represents a significant step towards bringing their son home.
Egyptian officials in their response to the cabinet decision blame Israel for complicating the situation and their ongoing efforts to mediate a ceasefire solution between Israel and Hamas.
