Ghazi Hamad was Gershon Baskin’s partner in the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, in 2011. At the time, Hamad said that, one day, they would be the negotiators of peace between Israel and Palestine. But while Baskin has always continued to defend the Palestinians’ right to an independent country, Hamad this week called for a repeat of the October 7th massacre, the annihilation of the Jews, the end of the State of Israel. Expresso spoke to Baskin
Here is the letter he sent to his former partner.
