Israël overweegt om de criteria voor de definitie van gevangenen met bloed aan hun handen te versoepelen, om zo een deal met Hamas mogelijk te maken waarin de Israëlische soldaat Gilad Shalit zou worden vrijgelaten. Het lijkt een truuk om te verdoezelen dat Shalit alleen vrij te krijgen is, door een flink aantal terroristen die bij dodelijke aanslagen betrokken waren vrij te laten.
Een dergelijke deal zal door Hamas ongetwijfeld als een grote overwinning worden beschouwd, en niet tot matiging leiden zoals ook sommige Israëlische leiders hopen.

The government should reconsider changing the criteria for the definition of a prisoner "with blood on his hands," IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told a ministerial committee on Sunday.
The special committee discussing alleviations that could help reach deals for the release of captured soldiers failed to achieve a consensus during their second meeting in the matter, which focused mainly on Palestinian prisoners who were on a list as per the demands of Cpl. Gilad Schalit's kidnappers.
Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Yuval Diskin, who has voiced his disagreement with the move, warned against making changes to criteria.
Diskin told Army Radio that such action would bring about the release of masses of prisoners.

Israel Television Channel One Mabat News reported this evening that it is being proposed that several groups be dropped from the "blood on hands" category:
1. Those who wounded Israelis but didn't manage to kill them ("if first you don't succeed...?")
2. Those who sent others to kill Israelis.("just gave orders" instead of "just followed orders")
3. Those who actively participated in an operation killing Israelis but did not actually pull the trigger that shot a bullet that killed an Israeli. (The beauty of this category is that it means Israel can release all Palestinians serving time for their involvement in successful suicide bombings)
4. Those who killed Israelis a long time ago - e.g. before Oslo.
