Prime Minister Ehud Olmert held a special cabinet meeting today to discuss the deadlock in negotiations with Hamas for a prisoner exchange, March 17, 2009. Intense negotiations with Hamas ended last night after Hamas toughened their demands for the release of hundreds of prisoners in exchange for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit who was abducted by Palestinian militants from Gaza in a cross border raid in June 2006.
