Netanyahu: Israel Won’t Return Dead Hamas Terrorists as ‘Free Gift’
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says Israel will not return the bodies of five Palestinian terrorists killed last week in a tunnel demolition as a “free gift.”
The comment implied that Israel will hold on to the bodies until Hamas terrorists agree to return the remains of two soldiers killed in a 2014 war, as well as two live Israeli civilians believed held in the Gaza Strip.
