Israel is expected to release senior Hamas figure Sheikh Naif Rajoub on Sunday, Palestinian sources said.
Rajoub, a former minister for waqf affairs in the first Hamas government and senior Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament, was detained in June 2006 during a wave of arrests Israel conducted following the kidnapping of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. (Ali Waked)
