Recently-freed Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit leaves after meeting with Christophe Bigot, the French ambassador to Israel (not pictured) at the French embassy in Tel Aviv January 11, 2012. During the meeting, Shalit gave the ambassador a letter addressed to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Shalit returned home in October 2011 in a thousand-for-one prisoner swap which ended his five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip. REUTERS/Jack Guez/Pool (ISRAEL - Tags: POLITICS)
