Why doesn’t Hamas let the ICRC, International Red Cross, visit Gilad Shalit?

What is Hamas hiding?

“10-12-2008 Interview
Gaza: still no ICRC access to Gilad Shalit
It has been almost 900 days since the Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, was captured by Palestinian armed factions from Gaza. To date, the ICRC’s attempts to visit him and to establish contact between him and his family have been unsuccessful. Pierre Wettach, the ICRC’s head of delegation in Israel and the occupied territories, explains.”

Israel long ago should have said that if the Red Cross can’t visit prisoners Hamas holds, there will be no outside contact with Hamas prisoners.
