The Israeli Ministry of "Justice" published a list of the names of 300 Palestinian prisoners who could "possibly be released" as part of a prisoner exchange deal that has been agreed on between the occupation and the Palestinian Resistance.

The list published by the Israeli Ministry of "Justice" included the names of prisoners from all Palestinian factions, including Hamas, Fatah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other factions.

The Israeli Ministry of "Justice" published the list in order to allow the Israeli public to submit objections to the Supreme Court within twenty-four hours.

For its part, the Times of Israel newspaper explained that "publishing the details of these Palestinian prisoners [in advance] provides the opportunity to file a judicial appeal against the release of specific prisoners."
