The cabinet has approved the release of 250 Palestinian Authority terrorist prisoners now incarcerated in Israeli jails, as a “good will” gesture to support the Fatah-controlled government of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Also approved at the weekly Sunday morning cabinet meeting was the process by which the Justice Ministry and General Security Service (Shin Bet) will choose the prisoners slated for freedom. Reportedly no prisoner with “blood on their hands” will be released.
