Gaza: Hamas leader Khalid Meshaal is expected to deliver a letter to captured Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit from his father, a Hamas member said on Saturday.

Hamas' political bureau member Mohammed Nasr said that the emir of Qatar gave the letter to Mashaal during a visit to Syria this week.

"What has been requested is to pass the letter to Schalit," Nasr said. "Khaled Mashaal has received the letter and promised to pass it to Schalit."

Schalit has been held by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip for two years.
