Also, Palestinian security forces have deployed in the Gaza Strip.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Monday, hundreds of trucks lined up on the Gaza side of Karni, waiting to cross into Israel.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael on Sunday also backed away from its long-standing refusal to release Palestinian prisoners accused of violence against Israelis, defusing a crisis that threatened to derail the upcoming summit.\u003cbr/\u003eAbbas has made the fate of Palestinian prisoners a top priority, and a large-scale release would boost his efforts to end the Palestinian uprising.\u003cbr/\u003eLast week, Israeli leaders approved the release of 900 prisoners, none involved in violence, in a gesture ahead of the summit. Palestinian officials complained that the planned gesture did not go far enough, and the dispute overshadowed summit preparations.\u003cbr/\u003eLate on Saturday, top aides of Sharon and Abbas agreed to form a committee to study additional releases, including of prisoners involved in attacks. Negotiators also finalised an arrangement of conditional amnesty for Palestinian fugitives, they said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Gaza City Palestinians held a rally calling for the release of all prisoners held in Israeli prisons.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile elsewhere in Gaza, an Egyptian delegation met with members of the Fatah movement and the Hamas movement, leaders of militant groups and security commanders to shore up the emerging cease-fire deal.\u003cbr/\u003eHamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said that any agreement between Abbas and Sharon should include the release of Palestinian prisoners. He said he expected that Abbas would held talks with the Palestinian factions after the summit. \u003cbr/\u003eSaher Basiso, Member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council said he was confident about the
