(IsraelNN.com) The Knesset Law Committee will deliberate Sunday whether to prevent visitation rights to PA Arab security prisoners held in Israeli prisons as long as Gilad Shalit remains in captivity. MK Danny Danon submitted a bill that would prevent family visits to security prisoners imprisoned in Israeli jails, with the exception of their attorneys and Red Crescent (Arab Red Cross) representatives.

The bill comes to correct the ironic situation in which terror organizations have denied captured Israeli citizens to contact their families while security prisoners jailed in Israel enjoy numerous benefits, including visitation rights.
