[ 02/05/2011 - 08:56 AM ] NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Parents of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier captured by Palestinian resistance in Gaza Strip, along with tens of supporters rallied in front of the Israeli cabinet's headquarters on Sunday during its weekly session.
Hebrew media reported that the demonstrators called on the government to do more to secure the release of Shalit, who was captured almost five years ago.
Shalit's parents hoisted placards with slogans directed at Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu saying, "you are not authorized to kill Shalit", and "Israel lacks leadership".
The demonstrators lashed out at the Israeli government for not doing enough to secure Shalit's return to his parents.
Palestinian resistance demands the release of 1400 Palestinian prisoners including all women, minors, sick detainees, and those serving high sentences in return for Shalit's freedom. The demand was refused by Israel.
