Akhir 21, 1432 H/March 26, 2011, SPA -- Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Saturday declared the issue of prisoners to be a top priority and that there would be no peace agreement with Israel until the issue was resolved, according to dpa. "There will be no peace until all Palestinian prisoners are freed from Israeli jails," the president of the Palestinian Authority said. The Palestinian Authority "will not rest until all prisoners have been released," he added after meeting with Abdullah Abu Rahma, the coordinator of the popular committee against the Israeli wall in the city of Bil'in who was recently freed from Israeli jail. Abu Rahma said that inter-Palestinian reconciliation "is necessary to counter the dire conditions the Palestinian cause is facing."
