Fifty-five members of the governing coalition, including ministers and parliamentarians, have signed a letter urging President Isaac Herzog to secure the release of Jewish security prisoners. The appeal comes in response to the recent release of Palestinian prisoners as part of the ongoing hostage deal, which the signatories argue creates a double standard. The letter, supported by all coalition parties except one parliamentarian, contends that Jewish prisoners and their families suffer while those convicted of terrorism are freed. The initiator of the letter described the demand as a moral and just call, emphasizing that these Jewish prisoners pose no danger to the public. While the president has the authority to commute sentences, his powers are limited regarding prisoners sentenced under military court provisions, which applies to many of those referenced in the letter.
