Tzipi Livni's spokeswoman said today that the Israeli government was working to finalise an agreement to free the prisoners when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed letters of accessions to 15 international conventions. Abbas said it was a response to Israel's failure to release prisoners as promised.
Livni said the prisoner release was contingent on the Palestinians refraining from making unilateral moves. Livni said that "new conditions were established and Israel cannot release the fourth batch of prisoners."
