Process of setting British journalist Alan Johnston

British reporter Alan Johnston has been missing since the 12th of March and is suspected of being kidnapped. However, till day the EU and the British government did not hold any talks with the Hamas since it did not recognize the right of the Israelis to exist without violence.

However, this policy is generally ignored by British government and the EU in case of emergencies like a kidnapping. The journalist Johnston has been kidnapped for the longest period of time than any journalist has ever been in the Gaza. He also happens to be the only foreign journalist in the region.
