[ 12/04/2011 - 08:06 AM ] NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Former Israeli security chiefs have called on the Prime Minister Netanyahu to finalize the Shalit deal by freeing Hamas's men detained in Israeli prisons.
Shalit was captured by Palestinian resistance forces in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip into Palestinian lands occupied in 1948. Those forces are demanding that the Israeli occupation release some 1,400 of its men, women and children from its jails.
Former Shin Bet chief Ya'akov Perry said during a press conference by some of Israel's senior security and military chiefs that Israel has enough intelligence and military capabilities to deal with those released in the deal if they return to the practice of ”terrorism”.
Former Mossad chief Danny Yatom said that it is Israel's duty to return Shalit to his family and that carrying out the Shalit deal falls in the context of studied risks that Israel can take upon itself. He added that Israel cannot control the situation militarily and emphasized that what can be achieved today is not certain to be achieved tomorrow.
The press conference was joined by Ami Ayalon, Karmi Gilon and Ya'akov, who are three former Shin Bet chiefs, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amon Lipkin-Shahak, a former army chief, Maj. Gen. Alik Ron and Gen (res.) Avigdor Kahalani.
