PM halts return of Palestinian attackers’ bodies
PM Netanyahu tells Defense Minister Ya’alon to stop the return of the bodies of Palestinians killed while carrying out attacks on Israelis.
In a conversation held last night, the PM says the freeze will remain in place pending a new decision on the matter, Channel 2 says.
Israel has upheld a policy of returning the bodies to the Palestinian Authority, on condition that they are buried in a low-key funeral, to avoid further inflammation of the months-long violence.
