Translation by "Al Quds" dot com - An Israeli security official said, on Wednesday, that the bodies of any Palestinians held in exchange for the body of the Druze youth being held in Jenin camp by gunmen will not be handed over.

The Israeli Army Radio quoted the official as saying that such an option is not on the agenda.

While the Hebrew channel Reshet Kan reported that the UN envoy for the peace process in the Middle East, Tor Winsland, and the Palestinian Authority are participating in the ongoing negotiations to try to hand over the body.

The Druze young man's family asked the Israeli government not to carry out a military operation to recover the body and leave the opportunity for negotiations at the present time.
