Israel to trade 25 'non-security prisoners' for Grapel
Sorry for taking the last couple of hours off. I have a lot of work (thank God) and a bad cold. I'd like to get rid of the cold so that I can do the work, so I laid down for a while.Israel's cabinet is considering a deal that would free American-Israeli anarchist Ilan Grapel in exchange for 25 Egyptian 'non-security' prisoners who are being held in Israeli jails.
The Prime Minister's Office clarified that the jailed Egyptians were not security prisoners and that the deal between Israel and Egypt still needed the approval of the security cabinet.If the rationale for paying the price for Shalit was that we sent him into battle, and that we have a universal draft so that he had no choice but to go, what is the rationale for trading anything for this guy? The Americans aren't giving anything for him and he spent about a year in Israel in total. Why should we be paying the price? This is a very bad precedent.
Egyptian media revealed Saturday that Israel and Egypt were putting the “finishing touches” on a list of prisoners to be freed in exchange for the American-Israeli charged with spying.
Al-Youm al-Sabeh newspaper reported that Yasser Reda – Cairo’s ambassador to Israel who has been serving as an intermediary between the two countries on the issue – provided the prisoner list to Egypt’s Foreign Ministry this weekend.
Grapel, a law student from Queens, New York, has been charged with sedition and inciting Egyptians to violence during the revolution that unseated president Hosni Mubarak. The 27-year-old’s release was reportedly worked out as part of the deal that brought home IDF soldier Gilad Schalit last week after five years in Hamas captivity.
