Minister Steinitz: Shalit decision cannot be made in streets

None

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said a decision on a prisoner-swap deal for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit "cannot be made in the streets, a march, or a referendum".

 

"These are not decisions of public opinion," Steinitz added. "On the one hand there is the heart – we are all praying with one heart to see him with us. On the other hand, to be one of the decision-makers means making decisions from the head, not just the heart." (Ilana Curiel)
