At the Tel Aviv Regional Conference of the Bar Association, Tel Aviv, Livni said that she was opposed to all previous prisoner deals.From then-Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert's cabinet communique July 20, 2008 (Livni was Foreign Minister at the time):

Or maybe it was just a 'selective memory.'
Israel's obligation to every soldier that is sent to defend it, and to his family that expects the State to do its utmost to bring him back home.
