Gaza, 10 Jumadil Akhir 1436/30 March 2015 (MINA) – The Israeli authorities have asked European mediators, who have contacts with Hamas Movement, to intervene for the release of Israeli soldiers who were captured during Israel’s summer aggression on Gaza, media sources revealed.

Diplomatic parties told Al-Araby al-Jadeed website that Israeli security officials, related to premier Benyamin Netanyahu, have made contacts with German and European mediators to intervene in the expected swap deal, Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Israel has repeatedly denied the capture of Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

Contacts with Hamas Movement have already started, the sources added, without mentioning whether the talks have been done inside or outside Gaza.

Hamas has earlier demanded the release of all Palestinian ex-prisoners, who were re-arrested after being released during Wafa al-Arar Swap deal in 2011, before taking part in any new swap deal talks. (T/P006/R03)
