Israel's government has approved the release of 26 long-term Palestinian prisoners, as part of a deal which will see peace talks resume next week.

A three-member ministerial committee published a list of which prisoners would be freed on Tuesday.

The delay allows time for last-minute legal challenges by victims' families.

The announcement came after Palestinian officials accused Israel of trying to sabotage the peace talks by approving nearly 1,200 new settlement homes.
