The IDF Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Gabi Ashkenazi said that the press should minimize its reports about the deal for the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Ashkenazi said today, "Our responsibility towards a soldier who is taken captive while on duty is to bring him back home. But I prefer to keep the details about our efforts to that effect concealed. All the news reports about the issue do nothing to help us solve the problem and reach a deal."
