THE Blog of Choice for World Leaders and Policy Makers
How can I be so sure of this?
Well, a look at today's headlines makes it clear that both leaders have given serious consideration to my 3-step plan for securing the release of abducted soldier, Gilad Shalit.
Here's a closer look.
STEP 1:
The government of the State of Israel announces that the "Palestinian Authority", led by Hamas, has one hour to return Gilad Shalit
From today's news:
Olmert Gives 48-Hour Ultimatum
48 hours is a bit much, especially considering that Gilad Shalit has already been in the hands of Hamas for nearly that long, and it's not as if Gaza is so far away from Israel that they should need more than an hour or so to return him.
However, that being said, Olmert's Step 2 is very similar to the 2nd step of my 3-Step plan.
STEP 2:
The government of Israel will immediately cut off the supply of electricity, gas and water to the Gaza Strip.
From today's news:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Tuesday that if IDF soldier Gilad Shalit is not released, Israel will prevent the entry of fuel and food to Gaza.
The threat originally included cutting electricity as well, though Army Radio reported that Olmert staffers said that that is no longer part of the ultimatum.
STEP 3:
The government of Israel will announce that it holds the "Palestinian Authority", led by Hamas, directly responsible for the kidnapping, and as such, authority will be given to the IDF to begin targeting all "Palestinian Authority" officials until Gilad Shalit is safely returned to Israel.
From today's news:
Abbas to Haniyeh: Israel will target you if kidnapped soldier comes to harm
Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas warned Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh that Israel will strike out at him if harm comes to the Israel Defense Forces soldier... Abbas told Haniyeh that Israel would also strike out at his fellow Hamas members Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud a-Zahar and Interior Minister Said Sayam if anything happens to Cpl. Gilad Shalit.

Nice! You should put out good, detailed strategic plans more often! :)
(Just remember they'll always do a bit less, so up the plans a bit.)
