Judicial sources said that the public prosecutor cannot exchange Ilan Grapel for Egyptian prisoners in Israel, as it is not in its jurisdiction, and there are sovereign parties who are responsible for the task. The sources said that the prosecution has not been given any information regarding Grapel's case. Grapel remains in military prison, accused of new charges. A swap could take place, trading Grapel for Egyptian prisoners in Israel under American auspices. Grapel was detained in Egypt on espionage charges. He was recently accused of inciting people to storm police stations and vandalize public facilities.
