Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah ordered Monday release of all Hamas detainees by reconsidering each single case, the Palestinian Maan News Agency reported
Maan said that head of the Fatah parliamentary bloc, Azzam Alahmad, confirmed that Abbas's orders include release of all Hamas detainees , except those who ' pose a threat to public security'.
"This move is intended to pave the atmosphere for the upcoming national unity talks in Cairo", aL-Ahmad was quoted as saying.
In addition to a recent release of 20 Hamas detainees, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank will set free today 20 to 30 others. Yet, the PA will not release all those involved in law breaking, including those affiliated with Fatah.
The ruling Hamas party in Gaza has demanded that all of its detainees in West Bank prisons of the PA should be released as a perquisite for success of Cairo talks. Cairo is expected to push both parties to a conciliation agreement by July7.
