On the Palestinian side, meanwhile, lawmakers endorsed a call for Israel to release Palestinian prisoners in return for Shalit, including 26 Hamas lawmakers and several Cabinet members rounded up last week. The militants believed to be holding Shalit first demanded that Israel free women and minors, who account for several hundred of the 8,500 Palestinians in Israeli jails. The groups later amended their demand, calling on Israel to release 1,000 prisoners in exchange for Shalit, who is thought to be held captive in the southern Gaza Strip.
