Abbas Wants Israel to Release 120 Terrorists as a Precondition for Restarting Talks

(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - PA President Mahmoud Abbas has made the resumption of peace talks with Israel conditional on the release of roughly 120 "heavy-duty" murderers, most of whom committed their crimes before the Oslo Accords were signed. One of the murderers was Fatah operative Ala Abu Sata. On Dec. 31, 1993, he and a fellow attacker stabbed to death David Bublil and Haim Weizmann in their sleep in an apartment in Ramle. He mutilated the bodies of his victims, cutting off their ears as proof of his act. Another is Issa Moussa, a Hamas operative, who was involved in the kidnapping and murder of police officer Nissim Toledano, and two other police officers, Daniel Hazut and Mordechai Yisrael, in 1993. It was one thing to release 1,027 terrorists in exchange for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. It's another thing entirely to release murderers in exchange for resuming the talks.
