UN 'troubled' Israel seized Hamas lawmakers

The UN's newly-appointed special envoy to the Middle East said on Thursday he was "troubled" by Israel's arrest of the Palestinian education minister and other Hamas legislators. "I'm troubled when I see Israeli soldiers arresting Palestinian legislators. I'm troubled that the education minister was arrested," UN Envoy Michael Williams told Reuters in an interview. "Of course legislators cannot be immune from the law. But what worries me is that in most cases, as I understand it, there haven't been any charges...Let alone trials," Williams added, referring to Israel's arrest of Hamas lawmakers last year. (Reuters)
It wasn't unexpected, far from, but still.....
I'm sure we will hear more from Mr M Williams in the future, but never on the subject of Kassams or "suicide bombings".

Now the IDF has some bargaining chips for when its soldiers get kidnapped. Or maybe they won't get kidnapped because they learned from last time.
POS Hamas openly proclaims its goals of kidnapping IDF boys. So Israel is doing it first!
