Another in my ongoing posts from Israel:
Today was a rest day, with the only real activity some time at the beach in front of our hotel in Tel Aviv.
The Mediterranean Sea was warm, and the waves and undertow strong. It was great to ride the waves, but one man drowned just after we left the water.

In the evening I did my part to break the boycott of Aroma Café, of which we have written before. (Remember, Buycott Israeli companies to defeat BDS.)

But the big news of the day was that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released an Open Letter (read the whole thing) to the Israeli public signaling his intention to seek Cabinet Approval on Sunday to release all Palestinian and Israeli Arab prisoners convicted of security offenses prior to the 1993 Oslo Accords, thereby complying with a promise John Kerry had made to Mahmoud Abbas as a precondition to peace negotiations.
