Netanyahu promises to 'bring our boys home,' rejects demand to return terrorists' bodies

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to return Israeli citizens currently held captive at a ceremony marking a construction agreement in the northern city of Migdal HaEmek on Monday. "The government has two roles: to protect the country and to build it," said Netanyahu. "We have a simple rule: whoever wants to attack us, we attack them."

Netanyahu also made an apparent rejection of the current, pro-Palestinian demand that Israel return the bodies of Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants buried in the terror tunnel the IDF blew up last week without receiving the bodies of Israeli soldiers held by Hamas or information on living Israeli citizens held by the terrorist group.

"There is no such thing as a free gifts. We will bring out boys home, but I repeat: there are no free gifts."
