Deciding on the Release of Prisoners
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn and Gideon Alon - Minister without Portfolio Gideon Ezra on Wednesday answered questions in the Knesset on the prisoner release issue. An example of a militant who is not considered as "having blood on his hands" was a man about to fire at an IDF convoy but whose weapon jammed. According to Shin Bet definitions, prisoners with blood on their hands who should not be released are: anyone who physically participated in a terror attack in which people were killed or injured; anyone who sent a terrorist to carry out an attack in which people were killed; anyone who sent a would-be suicide bomber on a mission who was caught on the way to carry out the attack; would-be suicide bombers who were sent to carry out an attack (even if no explosive devices were found on them). According to Ezra, the prisoners would be released when the government is convinced that the Palestinians will fight terror.
