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.
