<p>PLO Executive Committee member, Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, strongly denounced Israeli minister of Industry, Trade and Labor, Neftali Bennett&#8217;s recent statements regarding Palestinian prisoners – &#8216;If you catch terrorists, you have to simply kill them.&#8217; Bennett also declared that he has &#8216;killed lots of Arabs&#8217; in his life and that &#8216;there&#8217;s no problem with that.&#8217;</p>
<p>Dr. Ashrawi stressed, &#8220;It is astounding that Neftali Bennett, an Israel government official and Knesset member, has a complete disregard for due process, human rights, and the value of life.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added, &#8220;What makes it even more chilling and disturbing is the fact that Bennett believes that it is acceptable to imply that the killing of Palestinians is an ordinary event that Israelis should indulge in with equanimity and undeterred by any moral or legal consideration.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Such horrific statements betray a culture of hate and racism, even at the highest executive level, which is the outcome of decades of Israeli military occupation with impunity and the deliberate dehumanization of its Palestinian victims,&#8221; concluded Dr. Ashrawi.</p>

The Islamist Hamas movement which controls Gaza said on April 13 that it would insist on a high price in any prisoner exchange for captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit who was captured in a deadly cross-border raid from Gaza in June 2006. Ezzat al-Risheq, a member of the movement&#039;s politburo in exile, said in a statement that some 8,200 Palestinian prisoners remain in Israeli jails, 30 of them women and 400 of them children.
