Compensation for the release of terrorists: Building in Haredi neighborhoods

Release of terrorists continues: small team of ministers to the issue of releasing Palestinian prisoners will meet tonight (Sunday) at 17:00 to formulate another list of 26 prisoners go free.

Prisoners to be released are part -104 Palestinian prisoners that Israel undertook to release them with the opening of negotiations with the Palestinians.

According to senior sources, the list is expected to include more meaningful names released from the first impulse, and which are involved in the murder. But the list is not expected to include Israeli - Arab prisoners.

48 prisoners released after the publication of the list, after the legal time period for filing appeals on the issue. Bereaved families are expected to file petitions to High Court against the release, but the chances that the High Court will accept the petitions are low.

Offset the release, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to order in the coming days on tenders for the construction of up to 1,700 housing unit's mostly ultra-orthodox neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo in Jerusalem.

200 additional units are planned to be built in the settlement blocs in Judea and Samaria.

Previously Ramat Shlomo building plan made crisis between Israel and the U.S., during the visit of Vice President Joe Biden in the country.

Following this incident have been suspended for the project planning process, and made them available only after the United Nations gave recognition to the Palestinians last year. However, the tender for the project has not published.

But Netanyahu informed the Americans about the plan to thaw the tender during his meeting with Secretary of State i.e., last Wednesday in Rome.

Do not release terrorists

To prevent further releases, Habayit Hayehudi faction initiated a proposal that would ban the president to pardon terrorists.

Less likely to pass the proposal. Habayit Hayehudi faction also announced that, "Release of the terrorists in exchange for the dubious Tzipi Livni to meet with the most severe Erekat. With all due respect, stop releasing murderers is even more important than Livni's existence in the government."

There is also the Likud opposition to the move, and Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon (Likud) turned over the weekend to his party ministers and urged them to oppose the release of terrorists .

"This is an irresponsible move that threatens the security of Israel," Danon wrote. "Unconditional release of terrorists is a prize for terror and encourages the terrorists to come." In the letter Danon numbered the recent terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria, including the murder of Sergeant Tomer Chazan z"l whom a Palestinian tricked into going to the village, killing of Sgt Koby Gal, apparently murdered in Hebron Palestinian sniper firing, and the murder of Colonel (reserves) Shariya Ofer in the Jordan Valley .

"These attacks and hundreds of events on the roads of Judea and Samaria occurred when winds of incitement by the Palestinian leadership fueling power on the Palestinian street, and Abbas is not speaking out against it."
