Ariel: Olmert handing out gifts to terror groups

By JPOST.COM STAFF
MK Uri Ariel (National Union-NRP) said Monday in response to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's speech, in which Olmert said that Israel would concede "large territories" for peace, that "the prime minister persisted in [his] delusions and empty tricks." "[Olmert] is once against handing out gifts to terror organizations that are growing stronger. He isn't prepared to take the lessons of disengagement and the Lebanon War to heart. The residents of Sderot can testify as to the character of the state that [Olmert] is building next door."
