Israel agrees prisoner release

July 08, 2007

The Israeli cabinet approves the release of 250 Fatah prisoners to help bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The move is part of a campaign to boost Abbas's new administration which he named after sacking a unity government with Hamas Islamists. Hamas took over the Gaza Strip last month after routing Fatah in factional fighting.
