Israel will return the remains of 36 Palestinians currently held in Israeli numbered graves, a Palestinian committee spokesman told Maan. Salim Khillah, a spokesman for a committee to retrieve Palestinian remains from Israeli custody, said Friday that Israel had agreed to release the remains as a gesture to encourage the PLO to continue with peace negotiations. He said the remains would be delivered next Sunday. The remains of one Palestinian killed by Israeli fire in 2002, Majdi Abd al-Jawad Khanfar, will be returned on Sunday at 8 p.m to the Taybeh checkpoint near Tulkarem, Khillah said. A military funeral will be held in Khanfars home village of Silat al-Dhahir, he added.
