That this House notes that 25 June 2010 is the fourth anniversary of the kidnap of Israeli serviceman Gilad Shalit by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in a cross-border terrorist attack inside Israel; is concerned that Gilad Shalit is being held incommunicado and is neither permitted to send nor receive messages from his family; further notes that despite repeated requests the International Committee of the Red Cross continues to be denied access to the kidnapped soldier; further notes that the soldier's continued detention is an obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians; condemns the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit; and calls on the Government to redouble its efforts to secure his release.
