Occupied Jerusalem : A special ministerial task force has completed drafting a list of Palestinian prisoners whom Israel would be willing to release in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, the Israeli Haaretz newspaper reported.
The newspaper said Tuesday that the list which includes the names of 450 Palestinian prisoners has been submitted to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert before sending it to Hamas through Egypt.
Israel is threatening to take “various active measures” should Hamas continue to delay talks over the captive soldier.
Israeli officials sent this message to Hamas via an Egyptian mediator last week, the newspaper added.
