Shalit's parents fight Gaza truce, step up public campaign
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Hamas, Israel, Gaza Strip 

Noam Shalit, the father of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, tends to serve as the public face for the campaign to secure his son's release.

But after it became clear that a cease-fire agreement in Gaza, which went into effect last week, didn't include Gilad, the soldier's mother sat for an interview in an effort to step up the struggle for her son's release.

n the framework of that effort, the Shalit family petitioned the High Court of Justice to learn why Gilad was left out of the Egyptian-brokered agreement. In the hearing, they released a letter written by their son, which they received roughly two weeks ago.
