Israel Starts Palestinian Prisoner Release
(Reuters) Israel began the release of 159 Palestinian prisoners on Monday in a gesture to the new Palestinian leadership after Arafat's death. Prime Minister Sharon had promised the release to Egyptian President Mubarak after the handover earlier this month of Azzam Azzam, an Israeli imprisoned by Egypt in 1997.
