Livni: PA Knew Israel Was Working on Agreement to Release Prisoners
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Livni said the Palestinians' unilateral application to UN conventions and treaties came at a time when they knew full well that Israel was working in a coordinated and genuine fashion to reach an agreement that would have led to the release of the Palestinian prisoners. Since the agreement to release them was dependent on the Palestinians upholding their commitment not to turn to international organizations, "under these conditions Israel cannot release the fourth batch of prisoners," Livni said. She called on the Palestinians to retract their move and return to negotiations.
