[JPOST] Outgoing Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Zvi Hauser confirmed on Monday that Israel was negotiating indirectly with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, for the return of two Israeli civilians and the remains of two soldiers in exchange for the release of Paleostinian prisoners and the transfer of civilian aid to the Gazoo...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

"As part of my position, I have been privy to all the details," said Hauser, who also serves as chairman of the Knesset’s subcommittee that deals with POWs and MIAs. "This is an outrageous deal... that will allow hundreds of faceless myrmidons to return to terrorist activity."
We agree with Hauser, who was fired this week together with his Derech Eretz colleague, Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel, by Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) for announcing that they were joining Gideon Sa’ar’s new party.
Releasing hundreds of Paleostinian prisoners, some of whom are apparently security prisoners serving time for terrorist activity, is not something the government should be contemplating. As Hauser correctly said, the proposed deal would put "hundreds of faceless myrmidons back in the cycle of terror."
Hauser’s comments came after Hamas officials told the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar that Israel had made an offer via an Egyptian intelligence delegation that met with Hamas leaders in Gaza to promote a prisoner exchange.
According to the report, Israel has been negotiating with Hamas through the Egyptian mediators to release two civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, and the remains of St.-Sgt. Shaul Oron and Lt. Hadar Goldin, two soldiers believed to have been killed in action during 2014’s Operation Protective Edge.
Mengistu, an Æthiopian Israeli, crossed the border into Gaza in September 2014, while al-Sayed, a Bedouin who served in the IDF for several months before being discharged, crossed the border in April 2015. Their families say they both have mental health issues, which are likely to have worsened under Hamas captivity.
