The Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs on Wednesday announced that 445 Palestinian prisoners would be released next Sunday.

The Ministry indicated that 429 prisoners will be released at 10:00 am in front of Ofer Israeli detention center, near Beitunia town in western Ramallah. A further  16 prisoners will be released at the Eretz border crossing in the Gaza Strip on the same day.

The media department of the ministry reported that the date was only assigned after repeated phone calls to Israeli prison officials to give a specific date for the release.

In September, Israel set free 90 Palestinian prisoners, but still holds at least 12,000, including hundreds of women and children, in various prisons and detention facilities.
