Abbas says Schalit will be freed soon
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas promised Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at their meeting in Jerusalem Sunday that he will work for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit before the establishment in the next few days of a PA unity government, senior government officials said. The officials said Abbas's comments came after Olmert called for the unconditional release of Schalit. Despite Abbas's assurances, diplomatic officials expressed skepticism at his ability to deliver.
