Betancourt: World Must Work for Release of Kidnapped Israeli Soldier

[Ynet News] Yaniv Halily - Colombian-French politician Ingrid Betancourt, who was kidnapped and held captive for almost seven years, has launched a campaign for the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. "If people all over the world work for Gilad Shalit's release, he will be freed," Betancourt told Yediot Ahronot on Tuesday. "Gilad's case affects us all. I understand what Gilad's family is going through. Many people express their sympathy but cannot really understand what a kidnapped person's family goes through. It should be a comprehensive global struggle," she said. On Tuesday, she attended a UN symposium in New York on victims of terrorism. The event was also attended by Arnold Roth, who lost his daughter in the Jerusalem Sbarro bombing, and Daniel Carmon, the deputy head of Israel's UN delegation, who lost his wife in the bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992.
