HARDtalk - Noam Shalit

Logo for HARDtalk - Noam Shalit

On the 25th of June 2006, Palestinian militants dug a tunnel from the Gaza Strip into Israel, and attacked an Israeli army post. Two Israeli soldiers were killed. Corporal Gilad Shalit was captured. More than two years later he is still being held by Hamas somewhere inside the Gaza strip. His father, Noam Shalit has come to London to try and increase international awareness of his son's plight. Can Israel be persuaded to pay the price Hamas is asking in return for Corporal Shalit?
