JERUSALEM (JTA) — Indirect talks have resumed for the release of Gilad Shalit, an Arab newspaper reported.
A top Hamas leader visited Cairo to continue the negotiations for the release of the kidnapped Israeli soldier, the London-based Al Hayat reported Thursday.
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.
