Once again bereaved families, those whose loved one were killed in Arab terror attacks, have set up a protest vigil tent outside the Prime Minister’s Residence ahead the planned fourth and final terrorist release in this round of negotiations between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority).
As the government is preparing to release additional terrorists from prison to accommodate PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), the tent was set up on Sunday, 21 Adar II by the bereaved family members in cooperation with the Almagor Organization that assists terror victims.
Almagor officials feel that amid rising terrorism additional terrorists should not be released. Officials also feel that once they have reached their objective, the four prisoner releases, the PA negotiators may not resume talks with Israel. Almagor adds that 80% of Israelis oppose releasing additional terrorists.
According to Arab media reports, Israel in the coming days plans to release terrorists, among them Israeli Arab citizens. Israel will receive nothing in return.
