A dispute between Israel and the Palestinian Authority over the release of Palestinian prisoners centers on some 30 inmates, Israel Radio reported Monday.

Israeli officials presented a compromise proposal Sunday night, which the Palestinians are expected to respond to in a meeting later this week.
