Mashaal described Tuesday the prison exchange as “national achievement” for the Palestinians.
He said more than 300 Palestinians sentenced to life sentences will be freed along with all 27 Palestinian women in Israeli prisons. It is not clear at what stage the Israeli Sgt. Gilad Schalit will be released.
Speaking in a televised address from Damascus, Syria, Mashaal said he was pained not to be able to release all the remaining prisoners.
“National achievement”? Enjoy your hero murderers back, you evil monster. I’m totally comfortable with having one Jewish life back while you animals celebrate the return of a thousand Arab killers. One thing’s for certain, the world sees who came out of this deal with the higher moral ground and it isn’t you, Khaled Mashaal.
Eh, he’s just trying to suck up to the PA. If Hamas was interested in the “entire Palestinian people”, they wouldn’t have wrested control of Gaza away from Fatah, which is the true representative of the Palestinians.
how can israel secure itself to be assured Shalit will really be freed and that they’re not lying?
every jewish life is sacred but return so many murderers on street is putting eretz yisrael in danger, now they will use kidnapping as a tool is this realy a wise decision
I hope they imlant a gps chip in those monsters to follow them.
The Arabs have made a fair exchange. 1 Jewish life is worth far more than 1,477 Arab lives.
I hope they imlant a gps chip in those monsters to follow them.
