Jerusalem – The High Court ruled late Monday night not to accede to requests by terror victims to interfere in the government’s agreement to release Palestinian security prisoners in return for kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit.

Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch, Justice Hanan Melcer and Justice Eliezer Rivlin said in their judgement that they had considered acceding to petitioners’ requests to delay the prisoners’ release, but decided not to do so after the state explained that the timeline for the scheduled releases was critical to the agreement with Hamas.
“Now, perhaps more than ever, it is clear that Gilad Schalit’s fate depends on these hours and any change to the agreement may prevent it from being carried out and could even endanger Gilad’s life,” wrote Beinisch.
The petitioners, almost all of them family members of those killed in terror attacks, opposed the release of 1,027 Palestinian security prisoners, 477 of whom are due to be released.
Sounds a little nuts. There is only one question to be asked : will freeing 1027 terrorists and strengthening terror cause more or less than 1 capture /death ? what is your educated answer (I feel for all) Hashem Yishmor
