An Israeli ministerial committee approved on Sunday a list of 26 Palestinian prisoners to be released on Tuesday amid the renewal of the peace talks between the two sides.
Among the 26 prisoners, the second group of prisoners to be released out of 104 in total, 21 are from the West Bank and the other five are from the Gaza Strip.
The bereaved families, whose loved ones were killed by these militants, will have 48 hours after the list gets published on Sunday night to appeal their release but have little chance of averting the decision.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not make any specific comments regarding the prisoners' release on Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting.
