Palestinians leave the Red Cross headquarters in Gaza City after a protest calling for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails November 23, 2009. Speculation has been mounting that a deal to free captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners might be concluded by the end of this month. But sources on both sides have said there was no certainty of finalising a deal by then.
