PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL SPOKESPERSON’S OFFICE

PRESIDENT SHIMON PERES SENDS LETTER TO JUSTICE MINISTER PROF. DANIEL

FRIEDMANN REGARDING SAMIR KUNTAR

Jerusalem, 15.7.08

President Shimon Peres, a few minutes ago, sent a letter to Justice Minister

Prof. Daniel Friedmann, in which the former made use of his authority to

grant pardons, for Samir Kuntar ( http://tinyurl.com/5bhmbg ), in the

framework of the deal to return the abducted IDF soldiers in Lebanon, Eldad

Regev and Ehud Goldwasser ( http://tinyurl.com/6psa8l ).

In his letter, President Peres wrote: “I would like to inform you that I

received your request and made use of the authority vested in me to grant

pardons, in accordance with Article 11b of Basic Law: The President of the

State ( http://tinyurl.com/ywatb ), regarding the person in question, in the

wake of the Government’s 29.6.08 decision ( http://tinyurl.com/5j5vy5 ),

which was ratified today (Tuesday), 15.7.08 ( http://tinyurl.com/6k7k4p ),

concerning the release of the abducted IDF soldiers in Lebanon, Eldad Regev

and Ehud Goldwasser. I made this difficult decision after speaking to the

Shahar, Keren and Haran families, the victims of the abominable murderer

Samir Kuntar.

I, along with the entire nation, feel their bitter and unbearable pain. I

should like to emphasize what is self-evident - that this decision in no way

constitutes forgiveness to the murderer for his abominable and reprehensible

crimes. I neither forget nor forgive.”

Shortly after signing the letter, President Peres personally informed the

Goldwasser and Regev families of his decision.
