Jibril Agreement The Jibril Agreement was a prisoner exchange deal which took place on May 21 , 1985 between the Israeli government , headed by Shimon Peres , and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command . As part of the agreement , Israel released 1 , 150 security prisoners held in Israeli prisons in exchange for three Israeli prisoners ( Yosef Grof , Nissim Salem , Hezi Shai ) captured during the First Lebanon War . This was one of several prisoner exchange agreements carried out between Israel and groups it classified as terrorist organizations around that time . Among the prisoners released by Israel were Kozo Okamoto - one of the perpetrators of the Lod Airport Massacre who had been sentenced to life imprisonment , and Ahmed Yasin — a Gazan Muslim Brotherhood leader ( and later spiritual leader of Hamas ) — who was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment in 1983 . The Israeli government faced harsh public criticism for agreeing to release 1 , 150 security prisoners , among them those sentenced to life imprisonment and responsible for the killing of many Israeli citizens , particularly since the exchange did not include Israelis who were captured in the Battle of Sultan Yacoub . One of the Israeli negotiators resigned in protest against the agreement . All of the government ministers , with the exception of Yitzhak Navon , supported the agreement . A large number of the Palestinian prisoners released in this agreement later went on to form the backbone of the leadership of the First Intifada , which broke out less than three years after the agreement .
