Livni urges Red Cross to press Hamas for access to Gilad Shalit

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Thursday that the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit - captured more than two years ago by Gaza militants - was at the top of Israel's day to day agenda. The foreign minister met with visiting International Red Cross President Jakob Kellenberger on Thursday and asked for the organization to press Hamas to allow the Red Cross to visit captured Israel Defense Soldier Gilad Shalit, in order to asses his well-being. After meeting with Kellenberger, Livni held talks with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in Tel Aviv.
