Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) President Peter Mauer on Monday of a recent case in which a Hamas prisoner freed on humanitarian grounds soon gloried in his return to terror.
The ICRC, which often advocates on behalf of prisoners in Israel, never once convinced Hamas to allow a representative to visit and check on the health and well-being of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in the entire five-year period during which he was held captive in Gaza, ruled by the terrorist organization.
The story related to Mauer on Monday by Netanyahu involves the case of Ayman Sharawna, a Hamas operative sentenced to 38 years in an Israeli prison for his part in the May 2002 terrorist attack on Beer Sheva.
