Haaretz reports:

European diplomatic sources said Thursday that kidnapped Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit will be transferred to Egypt in the coming hours or coming days.

This information has yet to be confirmed by Israeli officials.

Shalit was abducted three years ago to the day. One shudders to think about the conditions of his confinement. If this turns out to be true, per yesterday's post, Bibi's approval numbers will skyrocket, further undermining Obama's leverage over him.
