Netanyahu is lying

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, A Hamas spokesman, said that Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that he accepted the German mediator’s prisoner exchange offer and Hamas didn’t was a lie.Abu Zuhri said in a terse statement on Sunday that Netanyahu was lying to cover up for his role in foiling the effort of the German mediator and blocking the exchange deal.The spokesman told all parties concerned and to the captured soldier Gilad Shalit’s family that Netanyahu was the one responsible for aborting the exchange deal.Netanyahu claimed during the Israeli weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday morning that his government accepted the German offer despite being “difficult” and that Hamas did not officially respond to it.Shalit’s parents demonstrated in front of the premier’s office demanding more efforts for the release of their son who has been held by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza for the past five years.They were joined by some 30 other sympathizers as the father urged Netanyahu to pay the price for the release of Shalit./129
