OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli parliament is to discuss on Sunday a draft resolution tabled by a Likud member stipulating banning visits to Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails as long as captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit remained in captivity. Hebrew press reported that the law also stipulates isolating Hamas prisoners from other prisoners. It added that lawyers and Red Cross would be exempted of the ban. The draft law was passed in a preliminary reading and was now being tabled anew for endorsement.
