“JERUSALEM (CNN)—Israel released nearly 200 prisoners into the West Bank Monday, a move it says is a goodwill gesture aimed at bolstering efforts to end decades of conflict in the region.
Speaking to CNN shortly after the government approved the deal, Regev said the prisoner release is “an important confidence-building measure” that Israel hopes will show the Palestinian people that Abbas’ government “can in fact deliver much more for their own people than the extremists, than the terrorists ever can.”
