The Israeli administration on Tuesday published a list of 87 Palestinian Political prisoners that will be released in the coming days as a so-called "goodwill gesture" for Ramadan.
Of the prisoners to be released, all are from the Fatah, DFLP, or PFLP movements. No Hamas prisoners are to be released. 29 of the prisoners are residents of the Gaza Strip, while 58 live in the West Bank.
The sentences served by the detainees range from one to 12 years. Most have already served more than half of their sentence.
The Israeli Prison Authority on Tuesday indicated that the prisoners would be released early next week.
