Defense Minister Naftali Bennett addressed the Jerusalem Conference's decision to "store" terrorist bodies as a bargaining chip with Hamas.

"I have a goal - to bring the bodies of Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul home, not by releasing murderers. I sent them both in Protective Edge, and the way to get them back is by increasing the pain for Hamas. ''

On the criticism on the Left, Bennett said, "There is nothing more humane than collecting bargaining chips to free our sons."
