My advice to Israel: give the ****ers one day to release Shalit, or watch the gaza strip get firebombed from end to end.
Mubarak didn't mention money but he basically said the Egyptian/Saudi plan was kiboshed from Hamas command in Damascus, press didn't seem much interested in that at the time. Then Hezbollah made its attack a few days later.
Iran saved Olmert from his wimpish prisoner trade. Olmert, the foreign minister, etc. publicly stated that they were learning about real life in the Middle East. The humiliation of Saudi Arabia earned Hezbollah not one but two fatwas in tacit support of Israel.
btw.....did Israel ever get those two soldiers back, the ones they went to war over?
Israel shows Iran to have ruined an agreement on a captured soldier The ambassador of Israel with UNO, daN Gillerman, showed Thursday Iran to have paid money with a Palestinian leader to ruin an agreement sponsored by Egypt for the release of the Israeli soldier captured by Palestinian militants.
"We have all the reasons to believe that the Iranian mode bribed Khaled Mechaal, the chief of Hamas (...), the Iranians poured 50 million dollars to him to avoid and sabotage an imminent release of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit", declared Mr. Gillerman with the press, the end of a meeting of the Security Council on the Middle East.
"I made share with the Security Council of my serious concern, if it is that which the Iranian mode made to prevent a humane initiative, I trempble with the idea of what it will make in the future to avoid a diplomatic initiative aiming at ruining his nightmarish efforts and its dreams to obtain the nuclear capacity", it added. I believe that the Security Council is worried by that and I hope that these concerns will be translated into acts very quickly ", still said Mr. Gillerman.
The Western countries work with the drafting of a draft Resolution aiming at imposing economic sanctions and commercial on Iran for its refusal to suspend its activities of uranium enrichment.
The Israeli Minister for the Infrastructures, Binyamin Ben Eliezer, had charged Thursday to Hamas the failure of an agreement sponsored by Egypt for the release of the Israeli soldier.
"Egypt had worked for an agreement which we had accepted. But at the last time, all was changed by Hamas and especially by Khaled Mechaal ", the chief of the political office of the Palestinian movement, had declared the minister with the end of a meeting in Cairo with Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
Mr. Mubarak, whose country plays a part of mediator in the crisis born of the capture of Gilad Shalit at the end of June with the edge of the Gaza Strip, had made state in September of a progression in the discussions, assuring that Israel was ready to release from many Palestinian prisoners in exchange of the soldier. But Khaled Mechaal, whose movement asks for the release of 1.000 prisoners, showed Israel week last to refuse the principle of this exchange and to thus block the agreement.
