Parents petition: ‘Don’t allow terrorists to watch Euro final’
July 10, 2016Herzl and Zehava Shaul, parents of Oron Shaul, whose body is being held by Hamas, filed an urgent petition with the Supreme Court today (Sunday).
The petition asks the court to issue a ruling that will prevent the prison authorities from allowing imprisoned Hamas terrorists to watch the European soccer championships final between France and Portugal tonight.
This comes as a followup to the parents request from last week, when they turned to Israel Prison Service Director-General Ofra Klinger directly, as well as Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan – the latter of whom is responsible for Israel’s domestic security services – demanding that the imprisonment conditions of Hamas terrorists be made more harsh.
“We are turning to you after we were amazed to find out over the past few days of the decision to approve the provision of a variety of benefits to 3,500 prisoners from the Hamas organization imprisoned in Israeli prisons, including an increase to the canteen budget of 200 shekels, opening sports channels to watch broadcasts from the Euro 2016 (soccer) tournament, and the addition of soft-boiled eggs at meals,” the Shaul family wrote in last week’s letter.
“We hope you will work to cancel your decision to grant these benefits immediately, and to prevent Hamas prisoners from watching the Euro semi-finals,” the letter continued.
The parents insist that it is unthinkable for the terrorists in prison to enjoy an array of added benefits while Hamas refuses to return the bodies of their son Oron and Hadar Goldin.
