NYTIMES:
The parents of an Israeli soldier being held captive in the Gaza Strip asked Israel's high court on Saturday to delay opening border crossings with the territory until their son's release is guaranteed.
An Egyptian-mediated truce between Israel and the Hamas Islamist group in control of the Gaza Strip went into effect on Thursday. The agreement is meant to halt cross-border fighting as well as gradually and partially ease Israel's economic blockade of the enclave.
Sergeant Gilad Shalit, was captured on June 25, 2006 aged 19 by Palestinian gunmen who tunneled into Israel from Gaza.
The family petitioned the court to prevent the implementation of any agreement to open Gaza's border crossings or to ease the economic blockade until Shalit "is freed from his captors or a guarantee for his release is given."
Included in the petition was a handwritten letter from Shalit that the family received about two weeks ago.
The court is expected to discuss the case on Sunday.
OLMERT IS A TRAITOR AND A CROOK.
OLMERT AND HIS CRONIES SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE.
HAMAS ARE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL AND NEED TO BE WIPED OUT.
ISRAEL NEEDS REAL LEADERSHIP WILLING TO TREAT ENEMIES AS ENEMIES.
