Al-Shubaki made this statement upon release after 17 years in prison for his role in the attempt to smuggle 50 tons of illegal weapons to the Palestinian Authority aboard the Karine A weapons’ ship, during the PA’s terror campaign, the second Intifada, in 2002.

In addition, Al-Shubaki indirectly called for kidnappings of Israelis as he advocated for “deals” to “release our prisoners.” Complaining that some prisoners have been in prison for several decades, he joined others who have recently called for kidnappings, as PMW has documented:

Released terrorist prisoner Fuad Al-Shubaki: “Everyone says that we need to make [prisoner exchange] deals and release our prisoners. We need to make sure that they will be released. There are those who have been [in prison for] 34 years, 37 years, or 38 years. What is going on?”
