According to reports in a London-based Saudi newspaper, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s promises to ensure the security of Palestinian prisoners by Israelis in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit was not enough to convince the captors to adhere to Israel’s plea.
Egypt failed to meet the demands of the operatives, which involved Israel releasing thousands of Palestinian prisoners including terrorists, women and children.
Terrorist commanders want the prisoners released simultaneously with Shalit and not afterwards.
