Incoming Chief Rabbi David Lau feels the release of terrorists places Israeli citizens in increased danger.

�The release of terrorists exposes Israeli citizens to security risks and seriously undermines the feelings of bereaved families. I personally know the prime minister. It is clear to me that as a bereaved brother, who wrote a major book on combating terror, that he will weigh the matter seriously and make the right decision� stated the newly elected Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel.
