OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A Hebrew daily said that the lack of coordination between Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu and his special envoy on the prisoners exchange deal Hagai Hadas had led to failure of the deal.
Yediot Ahronot on Friday quoted "well informed sources" as saying that the Israeli government and its negotiators were largely responsible for the failure of the exchange deal, ruling out a near conclusion of the deal.
The sources said that a deal was about to be concluded last December despite the presence of certain gaps. They noted, however, that no meeting was held in Israel since July till December last year to coordinate stands of concerned parties.
Sources close to Netanyahu had said that he refused the latest swap offer tabled by the German mediator.
The paper said that Hadas told the Germans to eliminate the names of all senior leaders on Hamas's list for prisoners to be released in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
