Israel Radio has announced that Prime Minister Netanyahu will address the nation to outline the steps that the government has taken to bring about the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit just after the 6:00 pm news - about an hour from now.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

If Netanyahu is going to say he's going to give Hamas everything they demand, you just know the Shalit March has succeeded in its objective.
Let's pray we don't have to find out that in fact is what has now happened.
Just sayin'....
Can you please provide us with a live link to that speech. Toda Roba
Ben, Carl liveblogged it.
The real test of course is not what the Prime Minister said but what he will do. I think to get Shalit freed at any price is betrayal of the entire Jewish people. If I was in his place, I would not want to place others' lives at risk for me. I am not that selfish to be unaware of their safety and happiness. And I think Shalit probably feels the same way. There is a line that must not be crossed.
