Ayalon with reporters\u003cbr/\u003eCelebrations erupted across the Palestinian territories on Wednesday after Israel announced it would release 20 Palestinian women from prison this week in exchange for a videotape proving that an Israeli soldier held in the Gaza Strip was still alive.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Israeli announcement was the first tangible sign of movement in more than three years of talks over the captive soldier's fate.\u003cbr/\u003eSergeant Gilad Schalit was seized by Hamas-linked militants in a cross-border raid in June 2006.\u003cbr/\u003eThe tank crewman has not been seen since his capture.\u003cbr/\u003eThe office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip said Schalit's captors would release a recent videotape of the soldier in return for the freed prisoners. \u003cbr/\u003eThe swap was to take place on Friday.\u003cbr/\u003eThe statement from Netanyahu's office said a forum of senior Israeli cabinet ministers approved the deal, suggested by Egyptian and German mediators, as a \"confidence-building measure\".\u003cbr/\u003eNetanyahu approved the deal because he believed it was important that the world knew Schalit was alive and well and that his safety was Hamas' responsibility, the statement from his office added.\u003cbr/\u003eThe deal was to be carried out, the statement said, \"ahead of the decisive stages in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Schalit and based on the Israeli government's commitment to work with determination to bring him home quickly\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe Israeli deputy foreign minister stressed the deal should not be seen as a \"sign of weakness\" but as \"a humanitarian gesture\". \u003cbr/\u003eHis superior, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, said the Israeli government \"did and are doing everything possible\" to see Schalit \"with his family, free.\"\u003cbr/\u003eA Hamas Web site reported that the videotape was about one minute long. \u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli officials said the tape would include proof that it had been taken recently. \u003cbr/\u003eThey did not elaborate, but those indications could include footage of a recent newspaper or a verbal mention of a recent event.\u003cbr/\u003eHamas has been demanding that Israel release hundreds of prisoners, many of whom are serving lengthy sentences for violent attacks on Israelis, in exchange for the soldier. \u003cbr/\u003eIsrael has balked at many of Hamas' demands.\u003cbr/\u003eA spokesman for Hamas' armed wing said the prisoners to be released on Friday would come from various Palestinian factions, including Hamas, the rival Fatah movement and Islamic Jihad. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said one was from Gaza while the rest were from the Fatah-controlled West Bank. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Gaza, a Hamas spokesman on Wednesday confirmed the deal, saying that it proved the group's credibility in negotiations with Israel.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was \"proof that Hamas is committed to end the prisoners case as a national case, separate from the factional disputes,\" Sami Abu Zuhri told reporters.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael says that while the women were jailed for security-related offences, they were not directly involved in killing Israelis and were all within two years of the end of their prison sentences. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir names were to be published on Wednesday, allowing a legally mandated 48-hour period for court appeals against their release before the deal is carried out. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the women expected to be released on Friday is Sana Salah from Bethlehem.\u003cbr/\u003eHer mother she was told the news by her son and was so overwhelmed by emotions that she \"cried and laughed like a crazy woman\"\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the other women is Fatima Zeq from the Shuja'ia neighbourhood in the eastern Gaza Strip.\u003cbr/\u003eRelatives celebrating outside the family home on Wednesday held up images of her and her baby son Yusef, who was born in prison and remains there with his mother.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I can't express how I feel that my mother will be released with my little brother. It's a very great feeling,\" said Zeq's daughter Sarah.\u003cbr/\u003eBoth Hamas and Israel appeared eager to wrap up a prisoner swap deal.\u003cbr/\u003eFor Israel, the return of Schalit would end a painful chapter. \u003cbr/\u003eIn a country where military service is mandatory, Israelis have rallied behind the soldier and his family, holding protests calling for his release and decorating their cars with bumper stickers bearing his name. \u003cbr/\u003eHamas, meanwhile, wants to end an Israeli and Egyptian economic blockade of Gaza that has caused widespread shortages of many basic items. \u003cbr/\u003eThese shortages have prevented Hamas from repairing the massive damage caused in Gaza by an Israeli military offensive last winter.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael imposed the blockade after Hamas seized power in Gaza two years ago. \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials have said the embargo will not be lifted until Schalit comes home.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
