Haniyeh: Prisoner swap 'a page of light in our history'

Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh called the prisoner exchange that saw Gilad Schalit and nearly 500 prisoners on Tuesday "a page of light in the Palestinian history," speaking at a press conference Tuesday evening.
"We need to make more pages like this one," he said, alluding to further kidnappings that could be leveraged for more Palestinian prisoners.
