Abstract

The last big prisoner swap was with Hamas in 2011 when 1,027 Palestinians were released for a single kidnapped solider - Gilad Shalit, who had been held in Gaza for five years. The video, released on Monday, is the first sign of life of about 200 hostages from some two dozen countries seized in Israel by Hamas operatives. [Extracted from the article]
