ISRAEL FREES 900 PALESTINIAN PRISONERS: PALIS PISSED

PA spurns Israeli gestures
A day that began with Israel offering self-declared "far-reaching" gestures to the Palestinian Authority, ended with a Palestinian delegation angrily rejecting the offer and walking out of a meeting with Dov Weisglass.

A Senior Israeli official said that the PA delegation, which included Minister Saeb Erekat and Mohammed Dahlan, stormed out of the four-hour meeting in Tel Aviv with Weisglass because earlier in the day Israel decided to release "only" 900 security prisoners.
T
he Palestinians are demanding that Israel release thousands of Palestinian prisoners, including those with "blood on their hands" whom Israel refuses to release at this stage. PA Cabinet Secretary Hasan Abu Libdeh attacked Israel's gestures as "insufficient" and complained that the Palestinians were not consulted about the number or identities of the prisoners slated for release.

OKAY, HOW ABOUT NONE! DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU?
