| [Jerusalem Post Middle East] Through its contacts with Hamas, The International Committee of the Red Since his abduction just outside the Gaza Strip in June 2006, the ICR "It is Hamas's legal obligation under international humanitarian law to allow him regular contact with his family," she said. "We will use every means at our disposal to get in contact with [Schalit], but it is ultimately up to [Hamas] to implement the law and open the door for us to free Gilad." All requests for contact and information on the status of the captive tank gunner have been refused by Hamas. The ICR On Tuesday, former US president Jimmy Carter gave Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh a letter from Schalit's parents to be passed along to him. Carter successfully arranged for the delivery of a letter from Schalit to his parents in June 2008. While it would be a positive step for a letter to reach Schalit, 22, there was no way of knowing whether he received Tuesday's letter, Segev-Eytan said. The ICR "Hamas stated right after his capture that Gilad has been treated humanly," she said. "But we cannot confirm that unless we see it with our own eyes." |

| #2 "It is Hamas's legal obligation under international humanitarian law I recommend Jimmy Carter and Barry undertake this effort on behalf of the family. I may have missed it in the State Run Media.... surely Carter or Barry have discussed the fate of Sgt Schalit, correct? [snark off] Fortunately "international law" has no jurisdiction among the heavenly hosts. |

| #1 Hamas stated right after his capture that Gilad has been treated humanly, Yeah right - up to the time they beat him to death. How many years has it been since St-Sgt Schalit was captured? And the ICR |
