'Palestinians' disappointed by murderer release

The 'Palestinians' are disappointed that the terrorists being released on Tuesday night do not include any 'Israeli Arabs' or Jerusalem residents, and do include terrorists who were due to be released in a year or two anyway.

Kadoura Fares, director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, said the Palestinian Authority leadership would discuss the “flaw created by Israel’s selection of the first batch of prisoners who are to be released, because the list does not include prisoners from inside Israel and Jerusalem.”

Fares told the Palestine News Network that the “flaw” would be corrected in the next batch of prisoners.

He said the Palestinian Authority leadership would work toward reaching an agreement with Israel to allow Palestinians to participate in choosing which prisoners would be released.

Fares said the original plan was that the prisoners would be released on Tuesday. He added that the PA leadership was opposed to the deportation of any prisoner.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas was quoted by the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency Wafa as saying that “not a single prisoner would be deported outside the homeland.”

PA officials also voiced disappointment over the fact that the list included a number of prisoners who were expected to be released anyway in the next few months or years.

They also expressed surprise that the list included Burhan Subaih, a PA security officer who was arrested in February 2001. They added that the decision to release Subaih did not meet the criteria for the release of inmates imprisoned before the signing of the Oslo Accords two decades ago.

Boo. Hoo. Then again, given the current junta in Washington, these complaints probably will be taken seriously.

Meanwhile, Fadwa Barghouti, wife of jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, expressed astonishment over the failure of the PA leadership to demand the release of her husband. She told the Palestinian news agency Ma’an that the PA leadership had completely ignored her husband during negotiations over the prisoner release.

“Does the Palestinian leadership want Marwan Barghouti and other prisoners to wait another 30 years until they are released?” she asked.

 I don't know about other prisoners, but the 'Palestinian leadership' would be very happy to see Marwan Barghouti spend the rest of his life in prison, because he could challenge their leadership.
