Israel to Release Nine Jordanian Prisoners
(Yediot Ahronot-Ynet) Attila Somfalvi - Israel is expected to free nine Jordanian prisoners in the coming weeks, the cabinet decided on Sunday in a goodwill gesture to Jordan. None of the prisoners had been jailed for harming Israelis, officials said. The Jordanians requested the release of 18 prisoners, but many had been jailed for involvement in attacks against Israelis. The cabinet also appointed a committee to discuss what to do with some 70,000 Jordanian illegal workers in Israel.
