After claiming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had personally told him that a deal to release captive IDF soldier Gilad Schalit would take place within one to two weeks, and after a communique from the prime minister's office flatly denied that such an exchange took place, Labor MK Daniel Ben-Simon denied on Saturday that the prime minister had told him anything to that effect in person.
