Israel to Consider Tying Hamas Prisoners' Conditions to Shalit's
[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - The Israeli Cabinet on Tuesday appointed a special ministerial committee headed by Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann to report back Sunday with proposed regulations which would compare the conditions of Hamas prisoners jailed in Israel to the conditions in which kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit is being held. Shalit has been allowed no visitors. Friedmann said at the meeting, "The prime minister was ready to make far-reaching concessions on this matter, way beyond what some of the ministers were willing to accept. Nonetheless, Hamas' demands have reached such dimensions that we believe no government in Israel will be able to accept." Friedmann noted that "in the era before World War II, the arch-murderer Hitler received significant concessions from the democratic countries. He interpreted this wrong and continued with unreasonable demands until the moment when the democratic countries got to their feet and fought for their rights, aggressively and firmly."
