«Israeli» Negotiator to Return Soldiers Quits

Local Editor

The "Israeli" official charged with negotiating the return of "Israelis" held captive in Gaza by Hamas Resistance group has resigned, a statement said Friday.

The resignation of Lior Lotan, an "Israeli" lawyer and former army colonel, was interpreted by "Israeli" commentators as a sign of his frustration at the lack of progress.
Lotan was mandated by "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"During my mission, I was confronted with the cruelty and cynicism of Hamas," Lotan said, quoted in a statement from the Bibi's office.

Netanyahu said in the statement he would continue to "do all he can to bring back the "Israeli" soldiers," and appointed his military secretary to take up the matter.
