Who Are the Palestinian Prisoners Abbas Wants Released?
(CAMERA) Mahmoud Abbas is insisting on the release of 118 Palestinian prisoners incarcerated before the Oslo Agreements as a precondition for resuming negotiations with Israel. While the Palestinians refer to these men as "political prisoners," in fact they were all involved in the murder or attempted murder of Israeli civilians or soldiers, tourists, or Palestinian civilians suspected of collaborating with Israel. CAMERA has translated into English the Ministry of Justice report on these pre-Oslo prisoners, which includes a summary of their crimes, the names of their victims, their sentence, and their organizational affiliation.
