Bennett on Gaza crisis: Bodies of soldiers still in strip, no 'free meals'

Education Minister Naftali Bennett said Sunday he only supported humanitarian measures for the Gaza Strip in return for the Israeli citizens and remains of IDF soldiers being held by Hamas.

“Over the last few day we’ve been talking about the humanitarian measures, but we need to remember that our boys—Israeli citizens and the bodies of our soldiers—are being held there,” he said before entering the weekly cabinet meeting.

“I suggest the following formula: humanitarian (gesture) in exchange for humanitarian (gesture), no free meals. On the other side there is an enemy who waits for the signs of naivety and free gifts," Bennett added.
