Economy Minister Naftali Bennett rejected late Saturday reports that Israel was offering to release some 400 Palestinian prisoners as part of a framework for extending negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
According to a report from the Walla! Hebrew-language news site, Israel and the United States allegedly proposed the mass release to the PA as a gesture for extending talks an addition six months following the April 29 deadline for the current round of diplomatic efforts.
Bennett said he had received hundred of inquires about the alleged report, to which he responded on his Facebook account that "It will not happen."
