From: Ynet
A prisoner exchange deal securing the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit will be executed this Friday, Saudi network al-Arabiya reported Sunday, quoting sources in the Hamas organization.According to the report, 450 Palestinian prisoners will be released to the Gaza Strip and West Bank in exchange for Shalit’s transfer to Egypt. Shalit was kidnapped into Gaza 1,246 days ago.
The al-Arabiya report added that the Hamas leadership from Damascus would meet with the Hamas leadership from Gaza in Cairo on Monday, to discuss the latest offer submitted by Israel.
Sources in Gaza told Ynet that significant progress had been made over the past few days in the talks for the prisoner exchange deal, and that the last obstacles – related to a number of prisoners from the leadership of Hamas’ military wing – could be removed by Friday, the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

Last Saturday night, I had the distinct pleasure of attending an amazing fashion show put on by the NYU Iranian Jewish Club. All proceeds went to the Save a Child’s Heart Foundation. Save a Child’s Heart Foundation helps fly children over to Israel to receive heart treatment, and trains doctors from third-world countries so that they can cure their own nation’s heart-diseases.
The dresses were impeccable and the MCs were charismatic, but what touched me the most was when the representative of Save a Child’s Heart mentioned that not only would the money raised there tonight go to help save one child’s heart, but there will also be a doctor from Tanzania in the surgery room with them, training to perform heart surgery. When that doctor goes back to Tanzania, he will be the only heart surgeon in all of Tanzania. That was really touching.
Whas the night a success?
“Through ticket sales, advertisements, and donations, so far, our estimates show that we have come very close to reaching our goal of $10,000, the amount needed to save one child’s heart.” said Alex Babazadeh, Co-President of the IJC. In my book, that’s a success!
