(July 3, 2010) – TAKING a cue from the family of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, the families of Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel plan to march in Gaza on Sunday to urge Hamas not to relinquish its demands for a prisoner exchange.

The higher national committee on prisoners in the Gaza Strip said the planned protest march will make its way toward the Gaza home of senior Hamas official Mahmoud A-Zahar.
