Zahar: Schalit can be released in a day

IF HAMAS ADMITS PUBLICLY IT CONTROLS SHALIT, THEN THEY ADMIT THEY ARE KIDNAPPERS, AND HANEGBI IS RIGHT. ALSO: THE CLAIM THAT ISLAM TREAT PRISONERS WELL IS A SICK LAUGHER.


From the Jerusalem Post:

A deal to free Gilad Schalit "could be reached within a day, if an Israeli government brave enough to release prisoners serving life sentences is established," Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said Thursday.

Zahar told Israel Radio that Hamas had not believed that the Schalit case would last as long as it has. Today marks 900 days since the soldier was kidnapped in the cross-border raid at Kerem Shalom in June 2006. 
Hamas, said Zahar, had turned down requests by the Red Cross to visit Schalit for security reasons, but added that Islam commands fair treatment of prisoners.
