Aruri:The only way to release remaining prisoners is to capture Israeli soldiers

BEIRUT, (PIC)-- Sheikh Saleh Aruri,  member of the Political Bureau of Hamas and the official in charge of the prisoners’ file, said that there is lack of action towards the cause of the 27 MPs who are detained in the occupation prisons. "We are ready to sacrifice everything for the MPs who have been detained by the occupation and for all the prisoners. Our only solution is to detain Zionist soldiers so that we can achieve freedom for the Palestinian prisoners (through prisoner-exchange deals) because we failed to get the released through the negotiations that lasted twenty years" Aruri confirmed. He also added in a press statement to Al-Quds TV on Tuesday June 6 that it is not logical to talk about losses during the process of liberating the prisoners, citing the example of the war waged by the occupation on Lebanon to free two Israeli soldiers and that despite the fact that Israel knew that they could have been dead, it paid heavy human losses for their release. The Palestinian leader revealed that everyone, including the authority, has been neglecting the detained MPs, adding that "the Occupation authority internationalized the case of Shalit and so we must internationalize the case of Palestinian prisoners. Thus, all Arabs and Palestinians should take serious actions supporting the prisoners’ issue."
