Recapturing Ze’evi’s murderers
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs put out this Press release concerning the Jericho jail raid. I suggest you read it.
Essentially Israel’s actions were dictated by the the US and UK’s decision to withdraw their personell. Jack Straw, the UK’s forgeign minister said: “The UK and the US have repeatedly raised our concerns over the security of our monitors with the Palestinian Authority and urged them to meet their obligations under the Ramallah agreement. Unfortunately, there has been no improvement. The Palestinian Authority has consistently failed to meet its obligations.”
Since Abbas and the Hamas government had declared they were willing to set the murderers free Israel had no choice but to act and arrest the murderers of an Israeli minister.
