Correction

Due to a negligent misreading of an AP news report, I posted a story which incorrectly reported that Israel did not follow up on its promise to swap an additional 550 Palestinian prisoners after its first phase of 477. The full swap already took place.

We want our readers to feel confident that the information we post on Antiwar.com is accurate, and I realize this error strains those expectations. I apologize to the readers for the irresponsible mistake.
