(Arutz 7) Deputy Public Security Minister Gideon Ezra - "I am in favor of continued easings for the population that has nothing to eat and does not want Arafat or terrorism." To restrict the movements of homicide bombers, Israel must make the hard decision to prevent Israeli Arabs from driving into Judea and Samaria, Ezra suggested. "Cars with yellow [Israeli] license plates currently drive freely back and forth, and they can easily be carrying terrorists or bombs....This must be stopped....this cannot go on." Regarding expulsions, Ezra said, "Family honor is an important thing for the Arabs, and therefore mothers and sisters must be expelled to Gaza - because potential suicide terrorists will assumedly not want to do something that will cause their mothers and sisters to be wandering around in some refugee camp in Gaza. But brothers and fathers should be jailed, not allowed free in Gaza." [Gideon Ezra served in the General Security Services for more than 30 years and was its Deputy Head.]
