Israel is set to release a prominent Palestinian Arab lawmaker who has been in prison since August, Palestinian Authority and Israeli sources said Thursday.
Khalida Jarrar will be set free at the Jubara checkpoint near Tulkarem on Friday morning, the Israel Prison Service and Palestinian Prisoners Club told AFP.
Jarrar, a senior member of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and a well-known political figure, had been sentenced by Israel to 15 months prison for encouraging attacks against Israel and violating a travel ban.
