Abbas spokesman: Expect 'big consequences' if prisoner release doesn't go ahead

Abbas's Spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah said Tuesday that there would be "big consequences" if the release did not go ahead as planned.

Rdainah said a failure to hand over the final batch of prisoners would represent a violation of an accord struck with the United States and Israel.

"Any violation of this agreement would bring about big consequences," said Nabil Abu Rdainah, without giving further details.
