IDF on failure of amnesty deal

IDF ceased pursuit of hundreds of Palestinian terrorist fugitives in return for their promise to stop attacking Israel. Abbas paid them with Israeli money to surrender weapons. Even though the bonus far exceeded the market price of automatic rifles, most did not surrender their weapons. According to IDF, “many” of the pardoned fugitives ceased terrorist activity. In Israeli parlance, that means that most pardoned terrorists remain active.
Israel supplied Fatah gang with thousands of rifles, but Fatah doesn’t confront Hamas even in the West Bank.
