Hamas claims it knows nothing about a kidnapped soldier (Goldin is British-born)

I have open the Twitter feed of Gal Berger, Israel Radio's Arab affairs correspondent. The twitter page is in Hebrew (with some occasional Arabic). But the tweets indicate that one Hamas higher-up after another claims not to know anything about a kidnapped IDF soldier.

The most definitive tweet is this one.

בכיר חמאס, מוסא אבו מרזוק, מקהיר: גם אם יתברר שיש חטוף - המשא ומתן עליו יהיה נפרד, במנותק משיחות ההסדרה בקהיר להפסקת אש
— Gal Berger (@galberger) August 1, 2014

Translation: Moussa Abu Marzuk from Cairo: Even if it turns out that there is a hostage - the negotiations for him will be separate from the Cairo talks on a cease fire.

Right....

(Berger is also reporting that the 'Palestinians' will be in Cairo to negotiate tomorrow and the Israelis on Sunday).

By the way, Hadar Goldin was born in the UK.

Shabbat Shalom everyone.

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.
