Gilad Shalit dominated the past week in Israel and therefore he dominates Shoshana Kordova’s round-up today in Tablet Magazine. Shalit’s brother disrupted the official Independence Day ceremony; most observers reacted poorly to this indecorous party-crashing. But meantime, in Egypt of all places, there were tantalizing hints that maybe some progress had been made toward reuniting the impolite brother with the brother who was kidnapped nearly five years ago.
