Israel is still trying to find the formula that will bring soldier Gilad Shalit home from Hamas captivity. Shalit was captured in a cross-border raid by Palestinians in June 2006. The Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal, which reaches the one-week mark on Thursday, angered Israelis when it failed to fulfill repeated government promises that no deal would be signed unless Shalit was part of it. The Hamas commitment to prevent the firing of rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip appears tenuous, at best, with a number of rockets having been fired in recent days, so Israelis are anxious to complete negotiations for Shalit’s return before the entire agreement collapses. The Israeli envoy negotiating the deal with Egyptian mediators is due back in Cairo where marathon talks are expected to take place. The other prisoner swap deal – the one with Hizbullah — is set to go before the Israeli cabinet for approval on Sunday. The Lebanon-based group will return the two soldiers it kidnapped in July 2006, triggering the 34-day Second Lebanon War. It is not known whether the two soldiers who are at the core of the agreement are still alive. That deal will reportedly include the release of master terrorist Sami Kuntar, who murdered three members of an Israeli family and a policeman in a northern coastal community in 1979.
