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.

A Jew In Fatah's Revolutionary Council?!

From the Jerusalem Post

Uri Davis, and Israeli academic who is the first Jewish member of the Fatah. He is extremely outspoken about Israel being an apartheid regime, and is now vying for a position of power in the Fatah Revolutionary Council. He identifies himself as a Hebrew-speaking Palestinian.

With over 700 members of Fatah vying for those 89 spots in the Revolutionary Council, I wonder how long it will take for them to chew this guy out!

In other news, Uri Davis is a douche.
