Shalit talks resume, Arab paper reports

June 4, 2009

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Indirect talks have resumed for the release of Gilad Shalit, an Arab newspaper reported.

Shalit was captured in June 2006 in a cross-border attack from Gaza.

Former Mossad senior operative Haggai Hadas was named chief negotiator in the Shalit case Sunday, and met with the Shalit family the following day.
