Military court rules to release Hamas lawmakers on bail
By JPOST.COM STAFF AND APA military court has ordered the release on Tuesday of 18 Hamas lawmakers, including three Cabinet ministers, but the men remained behind bars for at least two more days pending an appeal.
The IDF arrested more than two-dozen Hamas lawmakers since June after terrorists in Gaza linked to the group attacked a military post, capturing Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.
Shalit's father, Noam, told Arab media in a press conference Tuesday that no one updated him on the court's decision to release the Hamas men on bail."I am not aware, am not familiar with the issue. Maybe it is somehow connected with Gilad's release," he said. Shalit added that he was aware of ongoing contacts regarding his son's release, but did not know of a finalized deal.
The military court said the lawmakers should be freed on bail while their trials continue.
Prosecutors appealed the ruling. The court is scheduled to issue a final ruling on Thursday.
Palestinian leaders have said the detentions were illegal and demanded the freedom of the Hamas politicians.
This is so stupid; I have only one question for the court.
How many dead soldiers and border police officers are you willing to risk to let this scum go free pending their trial?
Do you really think that if they are released on bail they will return for trial, fat chance!
So then elite elements of the IDF and or the Border Police will be giving the job to go get these terrorist that are committed to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews and the end of the State of Israel.
What will the judge in this case say to the families of the men that may be killed in the arrest operations; we were up holding the law?
Then it is time Israel grew up and after 100 years of fighting we need to make peace with the fact there will never be peace and change our laws to reflect this and declare war on the Palestinians.
Then instead of arresting members of Hamas and Fatah we can kill them from Abbas on down. After we have crushed the Palestinians in this war we then can move ahead to a better future.
