Israel’s Supreme Court on Monday allowed the release of the bodies of three Palestinian martyrs kept in Israeli custody a decision that was rejected by the family of Hadar Goldin an Israeli soldier held captive in the Gaza Strip.
The court justified its decision by saying that it goes in line with the laws set by the Israeli cabinet which prohibit the release of the bodies of Palestinians who belong to Hamas or carry out fatal attacks.
Hamas refuses to start negotiations for a new prisoner exchange deal with Israel before the latter releases over 50 Palestinian prisoners who were released in the 2011 Wafa al-Ahrar deal but re-arrested later.
