Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has announced plans to release 200 Hamas detainees in the West Bank as a goodwill gesture for the holy month of Ramadan.
This follows the release of 50 Fatah detainees by the Hamas group in a similar conciliatory gesture.
President Abbas and Hamas leaders, our respectful accolades for your mutual gestures of reconciliation.
May Allah grace the newly freed and all Palestinians with a blessed and peaceful Ramadan.
