The head of Mossad, David Barnea, urged members of the security cabinet during their meeting today to support the hostage release and ceasefire agreement that is on the table.
“We must pay this moral debt. This agreement is ethically and morally the right thing to do. It is a humane agreement. It includes mechanisms that will guarantee our security,” Barnea said, according to the source. Channel 12.
Hebrew media reports that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar told the security cabinet that 82 percent of the 1.027 Palestinian security prisoners released in the 2011 deal between Israel and Hamas to free captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit have returned to terrorist activity.
12% of these former prisoners actively participated in terrorist attacks after their release, and even more than 50% of prisoners released abroad returned to terrorist activity.
Bar said Hamas would use the ceasefire to rebuild its governing and military capabilities and that the deal would likely further weaken the PA.
Despite all this, security chiefs stressed that they strongly support the agreement, insisting that Israel is prepared to deal with the security consequences.
