Hamas and Fatah are preparing to release the lion's share of their respective 'political prisoners' by the end of the year.
By the end of the year, all political detainees will be released except those who wish to remain in custody for special reasons related to their security both in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, the PA-affiliated Ma'an News Agency quoted PA negotiator Munib al-Masri on Saturday.
The move comes on the heels of reconciliation talks between the rival factions in Cairo on Thursday that resulted in an announcement that Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other terror factions would be joining the PLO.
According to al-Masri security concerns pertaining to detainees remaining in custody included both targeted killing by Israel and attacks by competing factions before the reconciliation agreement goes into effect.
Israeli security observers note the fear of potential targeted killings by Israel indicates many of the prisoners are not political detainees, but terrorists with Israeli blood on their hands.
