Israeli Arab MPs at “warm meeting” with relatives of terrorists “will make every effort” to have terrorists’ bodies returned
Father of terrorist Baha Alyan: “We met today [Feb. 2, 2016] with Balad MPs: Hanin Zoabi, Jamal Zahalka, and Basel Ghattas. The meeting was warm and productive. The Palestinian brothers, the MPs, listened to the pain and suffering of the relatives of the Martyrs (Shahids) whose bodies are being held [by Israel]. Their hearts were open, they listened to every word the relatives of the Martyrs said. They emphasized that they will make every effort for the return of the bodies by applying pressure to the government in parliament and by contacting the relevant political and security bodies in the Israeli government. It was agreed to continue meeting and to monitor the matter in the near future.”
