Cabinet approves release of 104 security prisoners
The cabinet approved the release of 104 security prisoners with a majority of 13 ministers voting in favor, and seven ministers opposing the decision. Minister Limor Livnat and Silvan Shalom abstained.
According to the resolution, 104 prisoners will be released and a limited ministerial team will supervise the process as part of the negotiations with the Palestinians. In addition, if it would be decided to release Arab-Israeli prisoners, the matter will be brought for reapproval of the cabinet. (Attila Somfalvi)
