Israel Releases Names of Palestinian Prisoners Set for Exchange

Israel published details today, Wednesday, regarding Palestinian prisoners who are scheduled to be released as part of a deal reached through external mediation in exchange for hostages held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza. This move appears to be aimed at allowing for the examination of any potential legal obstacles that may arise in the final moments. The list released by the Ministry of Justice reportedly includes 300 prisoners, which is double the number of 150 women and minors that Israel agreed to release in exchange for 50 hostages as part of a deal that includes an initial four-day ceasefire, potentially leading to the release of more individuals from both sides.
