Netanyahu: We cannot release dangerous terrorists
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the negotiations for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, saying that "we cannot release dangerous terrorists to places in Judea and Samaria, from where they can murder Israeli citizens."
The prime minister told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, "We are constantly looking for additional ways to bring Gilad home safe and sound. The German mediator has presented an offer for the prisoners' deal, but Hamas has yet to give it's answer. It's not a simple offer, but we have agreed to it." (Amnon Meranda)
