In my opinion, this is a concession in case the Israeli soldier is already dead.  No one is coming out and saying it publicly, but if after a week of "negotiations" Proof of Life isn't offered, its probably because it can't be offered because the soldier is already dead.

Mubarak Demands Syria Expel Mashaal
11:46 Jun 30, '06 / 4 Tammuz 5766
 

(IsraelNN.com) Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has demanded from Syrian President Bashar Assad the expulsion of Hamas head Khaled Mashaal unless Hamas frees kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

The demand comes in the context of a deal that Mubarak is attempting to broker in which Israel would free prisoners whose terms expire within the year in exchange for the release of Shalit.

Gidon Meir, a senior Israeli foreign Ministry official, said that Israel has rejected the offer. "In general Israel's stance is, as the prime minister said earlier, that the soldier will only be released unconditionally and there will be no negotiations with a gang of terrorists and criminals who abducted a soldier from Israeli territory," said Meir.

However Arab sources say that Israel has not officially rejected the offer.
