Chairman Avi Dichter of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee has responded to the announcement by the Israel Defense Forces that Israel is holding the bodies of terrorists found in the terror tunnel last week, saying, "The bodies of the terrorists who were taken out of the tunnel by the IDF are a bargaining chip in negotiations over our soldiers and our citizens in the hands of Hamas."
Dichter said, "Until we bring our sons home, the bodies of the terrorists cannot be released. The Supreme Court must reject outright the claim of the hypocrites who are hiding behind the name of the 'Justice' organization - Adalah in Arabic" for the terrorist bodies to be returned.
