The Almagor Terror Victims Association hopes to stop the government from carrying out its plan to release 90 Palestinian Authority terrorist prisoners as a goodwill gesture to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in honor of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The group said Sunday immediately following the cabinet’s vote to approve the prisoners’ release that it will petition the High Court of Justice to block the move. The organization cited evidence showing that PA prisoners murder after they are given “a second chance” through political release deals.
