Israel to release 20 prisoners for information on kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's Security Cabinet has approved the release of 20 female Palestinian prisoners in exchange for proof that a captive Israeli soldier held in the Gaza Strip is alive.
 
In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Wednesday that it expects to receive a video showing the soldier is alive and well. The deal is to be carried out on Friday.
 
The statement says Israel accepted the Egyptian-brokered deal as a confidence building measure. Egypt has been trying to mediate a prisoner swap since Hamas-linked militants captured Sgt. Gilad Schalit more than three years ago. Schalit has not been seen since his capture.
 
Netanyahu says it's important that the world know that Schalit is alive and well, and that he holds Hamas responsible for his safety.
