Barak of IRIS questions how it’s possible that Olmert’s “gesture” toward Abbas of releasing 255 prisoners ‘without blood on their hands’ could have included 30 members of Hamas and two members of the Islamic Jihad.
Was the entire “war” between Fatah and Hamas a fraud perpetrated on us not only by the PA, but with the knowing complicity of Ehud Olmert?
According to the guidelines approved earlier in the week by a special Israeli governmental committee headed by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the prisoners released do not have any “blood on their hands”.
In the meantime, Barak also indicates that both the prisoner releases and turning over of nearly a half billion USD took place under fire of Fatah shellings of Ashkelon and an Israeli military post near Nahal ‘Oz. MB
