"..Speaking in the city of Mecca on Tuesday in honor of the hajj pilgrimage, Abbas said, "I would like to take this time to announce to our people that in a short while a small number of prisoners will be released. However as we all know, over 11,000 prisoners are currently suffering behind bars in Israeli prisons. "We ask Allah that they all be released. When we negotiate with Israel we speak of core issues such as Jerusalem, the refugees, the borders, the settlements, and more. There is also the issue of the prisoners so there will not be a solution without their release."
