Outgoing Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef on Thursday morning urged the Israeli government to sign a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal with the Hamas terror group.
Speaking at an event at the President's Residence in Jerusalem, Rabbi Yosef urged, "They should finish the deal already. There's nothing else to do - release terrorists with blood on their hands, it hurts the heart, we released [Hamas leader] Yahya SInwar and we saw what happened, but this is a matter of immediate life and death."
"If you don't release them, they will kill the hostages, this is a time-sensitive matter of life and death. It could be that these [terrorists] will later go out and kill, that's not immediate, the hostages are immediate."
Rabbi Yosef also noted the opinion of his father, the late Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: "We are permitted to release all of the accursed terrorists, and later they will do something small and we will immediately kill them. We need to pray that all of them return to their homes and are mentally well, and may we hear good news."
Regarding the IDF, he added, "We must not forget that they are emissaries. All of the soldiers sacrifice their lives. We learn Torah and pray for them."
"They protect us. What would we do if there weren't all of these soldiers? They are G-d's emissaries, they are emissaries of the One Above, they sacrifice their lives for us, we pray for them."

Moshe Dovid Perlstein has a lot of fight in him this season. So far at least he's not hiding after massive backlash like he reacted when asking Yeshiva World owner Eckstein to delete his vicious attack on Rechnitz when Rechnitz originally gave Musser to the selfish yeshiva admins.

And he's not even hiding behind anonymity like he was doing just a week ago, threatening the Camp Malka victims that he & Hiller themselves created their victimhood.
No sir! Perlstein has now gone Full Monty on page 16 of today's Yated with one of the most ridiculous tirades you've read in a long time. He himself acknowledges he will be counterattacked for it! In the same breath he insists - please don't laugh too loud - that he's "not a fool".
Already in the very first word he has the gall to attack his Camp Malka victims as "insidious"! That's a pretty big word for him. Did he hire one of Ms. Dodelson's political strategists?
He doesn't wait long to promote himself & pat himself on the back as the baal chesed hador. This from a oisnutzer profiteer who jumped into a disaster as the ostensible hero but emerged just as repulsive as the original villain who both of them left a population of young girls without the most basic necessities of life, food, water, shelter, etc.
He lies to cover up for "VALIANT" (you read that right) Hiller that the Upstate camp was 'unavailable' only "last minute" (it was in fact prohibited to occupy the entire time).
Only a sick person could next write an attack on the parents, pinning the blame on THEM for notifying other parents of the dire chiyuv pikuach nefesh to save their daughters!
Perlstein continues lying that the parents focused all their energy on smearing him instead of doing something constructive to help the girls. As if rescuing the girls from sakonas nefoshos mamash wasn't constructive. Perlstein also pretends he was the only one who ferried supplies (which in his case were woefully inadequate while making a $mint!), makes zero mention of parents who sent large amounts of food & water at huge personal expense.
He spins the same slanderous attacks on the parents multiple times using different words to harp on it. Because it's all about him, he adds at this point, virtually painting them as Meanies with Black Souls, that they get Geshmack in publicly frying him on the internet. He's even slimy enough to insist that the youngest girls crying when camp was cancelled for their ages is 'proof' that the parents were making much ado about nothing just so that they can get their thrills bashing Perlstein & Hiller.
At the height of absurdity, Perlstein whines that if the mean spirited parents weren't upset at him & Hiller, the entire disaster would have magically bloomed into a Gan Eden. Perlstein captivates himself with hyper-exaggerated hyperbole like that the parents are hungry wolves jumping on him the prey to shred him apart. He knocks the parents as losers with low self-esteem who feed on him to make themselves feel good.
He refuses throughout to take any responsibility for his own actions but at the end finally hints that someone besides him (Hiller) may be a bad person (after first praising him as "VALIANT"), but that it's still no excuse to expose Hiller because it hurts the feelings of Hiller's mishpocho.
Smug Perlstein ends off that the way to bring Moshiach is, in a matter of words, to just suck it up to let villains like Perlstein-Hiller abuse anyone they want including your own children and that everyone needs to team up with Perlstein-Hiller to persecute anyone who dares host or write blogs & WhatsApps that blow the whistle.
He certainly did get to various blog & chat owners this past week who were pressured to remove any commentary not casting Perlstein-Hiller as Tzaddikei Yesoid Oilam!
