IDF Reservists: If We're Captured, Don't Negotiate for Our Bodies
[Ha'aretz ] Israel Defense Forces reserves soldiers from a decorated infantry battalion wrote to the IDF chief of staff, saying, "If we are captured by the enemy, we ask that the State of Israel does not release many hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for our freedom," Channel 2 reported Tuesday. The soldiers and officers emphasize in the letter that they are "ready to sit in an enemy prison for as long as it takes," and demand that Israel refrain from paying a high price for their freedom. The soldiers also ask that no negotiations be held over their dead bodies or parts of their dead bodies.
