Abbas: No accord until Israel frees all jailed Palestinians

At a welcoming ceremony in Ramallah in honor of the 26 convicted Palestinian terrorist-murderers freed from Israeli prisons Monday night, Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas vowed he would not rest or sign peace with Israel until every last Palestinian was released.  The third batch walked in accordance with Israel’s commitment for peace talks over the protests of hundreds of their victims’ bereaved families after the Supreme Court rejected their appeal. Three terrorists were dropped at the crossing to the Gaza Strip, five to their homes in E. Jerusalem, the rest to the West Bank.
