Two Years in Terrorist Captivity


[Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs ] On June 25, 2006, IDF soldier Gilad Shalit was abducted on the Israeli side of the border with Gaza. Hamas must allow the International Red Cross to immediately visit Gilad Shalit and to allow him to receive proper medical attention. Almost two years have passed since the unprovoked abduction of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser on the Israeli side of the Lebanese border on July 12, 2006. To date no word has been heard from the two captive soldiers. Especially grave is the fact that these unprovoked abductions were carried out on sovereign Israeli territory. Taken from their families almost two years ago, these captive soldiers are denied the most basic of human rights. The terrorist organizations that carried out these abductions, and Syria and Iran who support them, behave as if these human rights are nothing more than a bargaining chip in their game of negotiation. Neither Israel nor any other civilized, law abiding country can accept this situation. We urge you to support us in our endeavor - to bring our soldiers home.
