An Arab newspaper says that Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu approved a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas terrorists that would eventually result in the return of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, Arutz 7 reports.

According to the report published Thursday in al-Manar, Netanyahu agreed to carry out the first stage of the deal, in which Shalit will be transferred to Egypt.

The newspaper, which is distributed in Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem, said the Prime Minister’s approval for the deal came during a three-way meeting held recently between Israel’s chief negotiator, Haggai Hadas, and the German mediator who has been working on the case.
