Barak inquires on restricting visitation rights to Palestinian inmates
By YAAKOV KATZ
Defense Minister Ehud Barak sent a letter to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz on Wednesday asking for his legal opinion on imposing restrictions on prison visitation rights for Palestinian families from the West Bank.
Barak noted that Palestinians from Gaza were not allowed into Israel to visit jailed relatives and the same policy should be implemented in the West Bank in an effort to pressure Hamas into reducing its demands in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Schalit.
