A-G says no justification for holding Palestinian bodies

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit says there is no justification for Israel’s practice of holding the bodies of Palestinian terrorists.

Mandelblit says that the heads of the various security agencies have reviewed the issues and determined that there are no “security conditions” that “justify the total prevention of returning bodies.”
