The Almagor organization for victims of terrorism has asked the Justice Ministry and the government to release the list of 250 Fatah terrorists expected to be released as a “gesture” to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The group said they would like to verify that none of the prisoners on the list were directly involved in attacks on Israelis.

The group also asked to check that none of the terrorists committed their crimes after peace deals were signed between Israel and the PA, and that none were serving a second or third sentence for terrorist activities. Almagor is asking to see the list at least 48 hours before the actual release.
