The Israeli cabinet has approved the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners after an earlier promise from outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
The prisoners, some of 11,000 held by Israel, will be freed in the West Bank.
An Israeli official said the move aimed to help bolster Palestinian PM Mahmoud Abbas's West Bank administration against Hamas, which rules in Gaza.
Israel freed 198 other prisoners in a similar move in August
Good for Israel.
