JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel will transfer the bodies of 130 Palestinian terrorists to the Palestinian Authority.
The expected transfer in the coming days is a good-will gesture to PA President Mahmoud Abbas and was approved by the Israeli government several weeks ago, according to Ynet. The decision came after a meeting of Israeli negotiators and Abbas over restarting stalled peace talks.
The transfer is expected to occur before the weekend.
