"French President Nicolas Sarkozy sent a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu requesting that Israel release a terrorist imprisoned for planning to assassinate Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Channel 2 reported Wednesday evening.
Salah Hassan Hamori, of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was arrested by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) for his part in the plot to kill Shas's spiritual leader in 2005.
Hamori holds an Israeli identity card and French citizenship, and there has been massive Palestinian pressure on Sarkozy to work toward Hamori's release from captivity, and to equate the status of the convicted terrorist to that of captive IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, who also holds French citizenship."

Personally, I fail to see the equivalence between someone plotting cold blooded murder and a kidnapped soldier who would only shoot to kill if his life, or the lives of those he is assigned to defend, are in danger.
Are there any Israelis currently in French jails? Perhaps they should be freed on the grounds that they are Israeli citizens.
