Lapid: Prisoner release right for negotiations
None
Finance Minister Yair Lapid said entering the cabinet meeting that it is expected to vote on the release of the prisoners, "This is not a happy day, it is a bad day that feels bad. The idea is to release a group of prisoners who are a despicable bunch of people who should rot in jail for life. But our job is not to do what we feel, but what is right for Israel and to reinvigorate the peace process." (Noam Dvir)
