"Today is a day of joy to our people, our families and our hero prisoners who have achieved freedom. We promise that this is not the last time that prisoners will be released," the Jerusalem Post reported.

In regards to the ongoing peace talks Abbas said that, “The Jordan Valley is our land and will remain so. This is a red line for us.”
