Hamas confirms the list of Palestinian prisoners to be released in exchange for Israeli hostages as part of ongoing ceasefire negotiations focused on ending the war in Gaza.

MKs oppose Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners, citing security concerns and lack of action on hostages held by Hamas. Calls for reciprocity persist.

The President’s Residence said a request had been received that relies on past precedent and that any decision would be taken only following a full inter-agency review and legal opinions.

“This is what they have to see in the morning when they go out for their yard hour. One of them, I think here (pointing), that’s his house," the minister said.

The organization claimed the description of the prisoners as hostages, many of whom were members of Hamas, was “subjective.”

Despite these actions, Palestinians in Ramallah held celebrations upon the release of the Palestinian detainees.

Over 580 terrorists have been released in the first four waves of the deal's first phase, with another 200 expected to be released over the course of the deal.
