Hostage deal may free 3,000 terrorists for Israeli hostages



Israel could potentially release as many as 3,000 jailed Palestinian terrorists as part of a hostage deal currently under discussion in ceasefire negotiations in Doha, Qatar, according to a Palestinian source on Sunday. Some of these scumwafers are serving life sentences.

According to a report by the Bethlehem-based Ma’an News Agency, the latest draft of a potential hostage deal would, in its first phase, facilitate the release of 25 Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for freeing approximately 1,050 jailed terrorists.

The report quotes Qadura Fares, the Palestinian Authority’s Minister for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, who stated, "During the first phase of a three-phase ceasefire, 48 Palestinian terrorists freed as part of the 2011 Shalit deal and subsequently rearrested for new terror activities would be released again, along with 1,000 other terrorists."

Fares further explained that the 1,000 terrorists to be freed in the first phase would include female terrorists, those under the age of 18, and those with serious medical conditions.

In the subsequent phases of this proposed deal, Fares noted, "Israel would release an additional 2,000 jailed terrorists, in exchange for the release of all remaining hostages – alive and dead."

He also mentioned that 200 of the terrorists released during the initial phase would be those serving life sentences for murder. Although most of the terrorists would be allowed to return home, those convicted of the gravest offenses would be expelled from the country, forced to live in exile in either Qatar, Turkey, or Egypt, Fares added.

Israel’s chief negotiator, Mossad chief David Barnea, is scheduled to travel to Doha to lead these discussions, as announced by Prime Minister Netanyahu on Saturday, following a delay in Barnea's trip last week.
