NOVANEWS
I will believe that the swap between the Palestinians and the Israelis, in which one Israeli prisoner of war is supposedly to be exchanged for 1000 Palestinian political prisoners, has taken place when I see confirmation from Ma’an News of Palestinian prisoners walking free in the Gaza Strip. And not a second before that.
Also I appreciate this line from Ethan Bronner: “For Palestinians, the plight of thousands of their sons in Israeli prisons has been equally traumatic” as the seizure of one Israeli soldier. Probably Netanyahu believes it’s a good opportunity to cement nationalist cohesion and fill in the micro-cracks that appeared during the J14 protests.
