RT reports: Israel to free 80 Palestinian prisoners – official Israel will decide on the release of around 80 long-serving Palestinian prisoners ahead of renewed peace talks, an Israeli official said on Monday. “The prisoner releases will start when talks commence,” the official told AFP. “We’re talking about releasing them in stages.” There were some 80 prisoners set to be released, all of them “pre-Oslo,” he added, referring to Palestinians imprisoned before the 1993 Oslo peace accords. US Secretary of State John Kerry announced on Friday that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators had agreed to meet to prepare a resumption of direct peace talks.
