It seems more like a publicity stunt on the part of the apartheid state as most of the released prisoners already served a majority of their sentences and were supposed to be released relatively soon anyway.
Also, the daily incursions into Palestinian villages, where many Palestinians are illegally abducted, have not stopped. So, it should not be long before the released prisoners' jail cells are restocked.

Choose to live in Israel?! That's hilarious. Wake up r.b.a...Arabs were living there centuries before Israel was created. And what about the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that had to flee their homes in 1948 and 1967?
And your rant about Israeli Arabs being given their full rights, that's propaganda right there.
Have you bothered looking into the funding and support Arab Israeli communities get compared to Jewish communities? What about all the house demolitions and land confiscations? How about the recent JNF land debate?
You're right about the same race part though.
