“Most of those who were granted amnesty reneged on… the deal by not turning in their weapons. Many did not even sign the amnesty contracts … under which Israel would abandon its efforts to find and arrest them.”
Excerpts;
In another “good will gesture” to strengthen the government of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert granted amnesty to 110 PA fugitives.
The move follows the removal last month of 178 members of Abbas’s Fatah faction from Israel’s wanted list, in addition to the release of more than 250 PA terrorists from Israeli jails. Israeli officials maintained at the time that none had “blood on their hands.”
According to PA officials, the terrorists who received amnesty this weekend allegedly were not guilty of direct involvement in the murder of Jews, but in some cases did participate in planning terror operations that led to the killings.
Among those released in the previous amnesty deal were senior members of the Fatah-sponsored Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades terrorist organization which has been responsible for a majority of murderous attacks against Israel.
According to a report by World Net Daily, most of those who were granted amnesty reneged on their end of the deal by not turning in their weapons. Many did not even sign the amnesty contracts binding them to the conditions under which Israel would abandon its efforts to find and arrest them for their crimes.
