Zio-Nazi military’s statement said the move to hand over the bodies, collected by the military over the past decades, was a “confidence” building measure with the Palestinians. Barak insisted he was unwilling to hand over potential “bargaining chips.” At particular issue were a pair of brothers whose corpses were held since their killing at the hands of Zio-Nazi soldiers in 1998. Barak insisted that the bodies were vital in securing the release of Gilad Shalit, an Zio-Nazi soldier currently being held by Hamas. Zio-Nazi Barak did not indicate if his halt on the transfer of the bodies was permanent or not, saying it would require him to weigh the repercussions of the transfer on the oft-stalled Shalit talks.
