MK Otniel Schneller condemned on Monday evening the decision by President Shimon Peres to sign off on the release of seven Israeli Arab terrorists who have been imprisoned for several decades. The seven were involved in terror attacks, including kidnapping and murder of IDF soldiers.
MK Schneller said, “I wonder whether it should be defined by law that the president should not commute punishment of Israeli citizens who betray their own country and murder Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers for nationalistic reasons.”
