While rumors and reports are continuing to be voiced about a possible deal for the release of Gilad Shalit being imminent, an interesting twist was publicized today by Ladaat.
Ladaat.net is reporting that the Neturei Karta is trying to use their connections and influence with Hamas to mediate a deal for the release of Shalit.
Neturei Karta And Hamas In Talks
Ladaat interviewed the head of the Neturei Karta, Yisroel Moshe Hirsch, about the issue, (you can hear it at the link above), and he was very open about it. Of course it might all be a fantasy, but it might not be. I would not be surprised if it were true.
Hirsch finds it necessary to dispel any notions that they are helping the Zionists. He actually blames the Zionists for Shalit's captivity. Hirsch said, "a person finds himself in captivity because of the obstinacy of the Zionists. He is suffering, and we do not think he should suffer. He is pat of the captivity of the Zionism, of all those that are in Eretz Yisrael that are captive in the hands of the Zionists.Right now the captivity Gilad is in is the captivity of the organizations in Gaza, and it is because of the obstinacy of the Zionists to not release their people according to their requests."
Hirsch claims he is not helping the Zionists, but the request for assistance came from the Shalit family. Hirsch claims to be in touch with influential Hamas leaders, and not just local representatives in Jerusalem, and that he has a plan that he expects can work and obtain Shalit's release successfully, though he, understandably, would not elaborate.
Let It Be, Let It Be!
As we say, "Harbey Shluchim LaMakom" - Hashem has many messengers, and can use any of them he finds most appropriate to be the messenger for this. I hope this, or any of the other rumors and reports, comes true quickly.
