Abbas: Israeli soldier to be freed

CNN

"Cpl. Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held by militants in Gaza, will be released soon, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in a television interview on Friday.

"We are undertaking efforts to free Shalit and these efforts will soon come to fruition," Abbas told France 24 television.

Shalit was seized last June in a cross-border raid from Gaza into southern Israel.

"We are optimistic. He will be freed soon," Abbas said."
