"Israel has recently agreed to release 220 of the 350 prisoners convicted of serious crimes whose freedom Hamas is demanding in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.
This represents a significant moderation of Israel`s position"
Whoever takes over from Olmert, whether it is Livni or Yesterday`s Dud, Netanyahu, should settle with Hamas immediately and get Shalit`s release behind him/her.
It would not be regarded as a sign of weakness but would be greeted with great joy by the ordinary Israeli people.
The new Prime Minister should pay the full price. Hamas has the whip hand. |
