Israel releases about 200 Palestinians
Transcribed from the clipping
NAHAL OZ, Israel — Palestinian families embraced in tearful reunions Monday after Israel freed 195 prisoners, including 13 who had completed their terms, as a goodwill gesture to coincide with the sixth round of Middle East peace talks in Washington.
The prisoners were freed at the Nahal Oz checkpoint, an entrance to the occupied Gaza Strip where 750,000 Palestinians live. Others were taken to the occupied West Bank. A total of 600 prisoners are to be released over the next few days, an Israeli Army spokeswoman said. About 10,000 Palestinians are in prison.
