Kidnapping and blackmail
A report in Haaretz confirms that the Palestinian administration is little more than a criminal terrorist outfit:
The Hamas-led Palestinian government on Wednesday called for a prisoner swap with Israel, saying Israel’s invasion of Gaza would not secure the release of a captured soldier.
It was the first time the government has proposed exchanging the soldier for prisoners held by Israel, though militants holding the young man have made similar requests.
In a statement, the Palestinian Information Ministry said it is “natural logic” to carry out an exchange. “This has been exercised by previous Israeli governments with Hezbollah and the PLO, and this is what other countries do in conflict situations,” the statement said.
