If Israel continues to retain Palestinians under dubious charges, Hamas is openly claiming it will begin renditions of their own in retaliation.  Israel needs to begin sincere negotiations if this crisis is ever going to subside.  The Palestinians on the other hand have little left to lose.  - The Angryindian

From the Intelligentaindigena News Blog: 

By <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/849024.html">The Associated Press</a>: Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said Monday that Fatah militant leader Marwan Barghouti does appear on the list of prisoners the Palestinians want freed by Israel in return for the release of an Israel Defense Forces soldier held captive since June.  Haniyeh's comments came after his deputy, Azzam al-Ahmad of Fatah, said earlier this week that Barghouti's name would not be included on the list presented to Israel.

Israel has said it will not free Barghouti, who is serving five consecutive life terms for his role in shooting attacks that killed five people - four Israelis and a Greek monk.  Hamas, meanwhile, issued a statement to reporters Monday in support of capturing IDF soldiers in order to use them as bargaining chips in negotiating the release of Palestinian prisoners.
