There are reports of "progress" having been made, but nothing concrete. If there's progress, that means that there's a deal in the works to release terrorists from Israeli jails in exchange for Shalit.
If Shalit's alive, that would be something. I hope he is, but I doubt it.
We've been down this road before. For three years in fact. He will have been in Hamas captivity for three years on the 25th of June (this Thursday).
Hamas has never wavered in its demand that Israel release terrorists from Israeli jails in exchange for Shalit. The numbers have changed, but the threat always remained.
And if Israel releases terrorists for Shalit, it will again be treated as a victory by Hamas over Israel, and no doubt the Iranian regime will in some fashion use this as proof positive - and also take some of the internal pressure off the regime because they can point to their proxies as having succeeded in taking it to the Israelis.
