JERUSALEM — The parents of an Israeli soldier who is being held by Hamas-allied militants received a letter from him Monday, delivered by representatives of former President Carter.
Cpl. Gilad Schalit was abducted near the Gaza border almost two years ago. He has not been seen since, but a recording of his voice and two letters he wrote have been released.
Hamas handed over the letter as part of a promise it gave Carter during a meeting in April.
Israeli officials and the Carter Center would not divulge the contents of the letter. There were indications it had been written recently.
