Arab MK Achmed Tibi indentified with the Hamas terrorist group in a radio interview Sunday. Responding to recent Knesset approval to limit perks for Arab prisoners in Israelis jails until Shalit is freed, Tibi said,”Just as you are pressuring the Arab prisoners, we will pressure Gilad Shalit. Its only natural.”
Shalit has been denied any contact with the outside world since his kidnapping four years ago.
