(VOVworld)- Israel’s Minister for Intelligence, International Relations and Strategic Affairs Yuval Steinitz says Israel is to release a certain number of Palestinian prisoners. Speaking on a public radio, Steinitz did not, however, say where and how many of them would be freed, but revealed that some of released prisoners had been imprisoned for 30 years. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced in Amman on Friday that the Israelis and Palestinians had agreed to enter peace talks starting next week in Washington after 3 years in deadlock.
