Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – A member of Saudi Arabia’s royal family increased to $1 million a reward offered by a Saudi cleric to anyone who captures an Israeli soldier to swap him for Palestinian prisoners.
Prince Khaled bin Talal, brother of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, told the kingdom’s al-Daleel TV station by telephone Saturday that he was raising a previous offer made by Sheik Awadh al-Qarani, a prominent Saudi cleric who promised $100,000 for capturing an Israeli soldier.
“I tell Sheik al-Qarani that I support you and I will pay $900,000 to make it one million dollars to capture an Israeli soldier to release other prisoners,” said a voice identified as Prince Khaled, who holds no official position in the government.
The Saudi offers follow in the wake of the release of Israeli soldier Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was held by Hamas in Gaza for more than five years. Israel has agreed to free over 1,000 prisoners in exchange.
Prince Khaled said he made the offer in response to what he said were Israeli threats against Qarani’s life. He did not provide any further details.
this “royal family” are terrorist! they also want to switch with anothers terrorist…..
g-d save all of us…in difficult times like this…..
Time for ‘The Mossad’ to go to work.
Benveniste,Tsfat
if i knew i could recive 1000 prisoners from my country
These people are animals.Especially after they capture an israeli soldier and make us free 1,027 terrorists who killed hundreds of thousands of jews.I just feel like killing them!
this kind of rhetoric cannot be said; if obama has any moral value he would call the freekin sheik up and threaten him with sanctions… or better yet, Rudolph Guiliani can do a much better job to stand up for human rights. Rudolph for president, not OBAMA
The Rebbe said this would happen. if u start exchanging, the yimachshemams would start making exorbitant demands for more prisoners
DIDNT THE REBBE WARN US…?
NOW BIBI CAN GO EAT HIMSELF!
AND EVEN SADDER, GIKAD SHALIT IS GONNA LITERALLY GO NUTS FROM GUILT…
Im not scared, i know its not happening
as a respond to this Israel must pass a law callinmg for the death of any arab terrorist captured
no more deals!!! Also just to make it all the more sweet, Israel also should wrap the bodies of the executed terrorist in pig skin (according to muslim law if a person is burried in pig they shell never make it to haven… whatever that is for them)
It’s time to get tough on terror in Israel!!
mayb it wasnt a smart idea bout gilad….
Us Jews are so special , even the arabs recognise how special we are! Ashrainu!
Der Aibishter firt de velt, trust in Hashem.
Thank you. You’re comment made me proud.
It’s a perfectly sweet deal for them .THIS IS EXACTLY THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR DOING THESE TERRORIST RELEASE DEALS.
Omg! This world is such a scary place, hard to believe. Every day is a blessing!
this is why some say the deal with Gilad would make things worse..
no matter how much they raise it…it’s G-d who runs the world
not him!
These people are pigs,not half human,all these arabs with their family’s should all rot in he’ll, they should just let Israel live in piece..
No way
This “prince” is an enemy combatant. Kill him.
