JERUSALEM (AFP) -- Israeli ministers are to meet Sunday to approve the release of a second batch of Palestinian prisoners under the terms of renewed peace talks, media said.
Maariv daily said Thursday that 26 prisoners would be freed, the same number as in the first tranche in August.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said two days before the July 30 resumption of talks that he had "agreed to free 104 Palestinians in stages, after the start of negotiations and according to progress."
Since the August release, Netanyahu's office has made no statement on a second round.
Maariv said the next handover would take place on Tuesday. more
