Minister Ze’ev Boim, one of three ministers voting against the Regev-Goldwasser prisoner exchange deal stated that while today is a sad day, there is a measure of relief associated with the closure of this most difficult process.

Boim stated that undoubtedly, this must be viewed as an “unbalanced deal that will have an impact on future deals” and it is “a strategic victory for Hizbullah.” (Yechiel Spira – YWN Israel)
