The Palestinian news agency Ma’an reported Wednesday that a list of 113 prisoners Israel is expected to release next week, as part of the second phase of the swap deal which secured the release of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit from Hamas captivity, has been released.
As part of the deal, Israel released 477 Palestinian prisoners on October 18 and agreed to free an additional 550 detainees within two months.
According the Palestinians, among the prisoners who are set to be released is senior Force 17 – the Palestinian presidential guard in Ramallah – member Taltal Na’asan, who was arrested in 2001 for taking part in shooting attacks and planning bombing attacks.
Muhand Qalbouna, 30, a Nablus resident who was convicted of murdering 65-year-old Baruch Sasson in June 2000, is also on the list.
Israel is also expected to release Darwish Da’adar, a Tanzim operative who was arrested in 2004 for his involvement in the suicide bombing on King George Street in Jerusalem in 2002. The attack claimed the lives of three Israelis.

Since Obama is so fond of his yishmaeli friends, and so in favor of these agreements, he should invite these savages to come live in the good old U.S. of A.
Why is Israel carrying through with this farce? They already have Shalit. What will they lose if they say “no more”? Are they already anticipating future deals with the same enemy, for which they must preserve their credibility?!
