Gaza - Saba:
The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office on Saturday said the Zionist enemy's publication of the list of prisoners agreed upon for the first phase of the exchange deal within the ceasefire is a procedure that concerns the occupation entity.
The office said in a statement that the mechanism for releasing prisoners is linked to the number of enemy prisoners intended to be released and within which category of them, and this is a process that will extend throughout the first phase of the agreement.
It stated that the lists will be published before each exchange day within a mechanism agreed upon in the terms of the ceasefire.
The so-called Zionist Ministry of Justice announced on Saturday that 737 Palestinian prisoners will be released in exchange for the release of the first batch of Zionist prisoners, within the framework of the first phase of the prisoner swap and ceasefire deal, while the "Kan" channel revealed that Israel may be forced to release five important Palestinian figures.
According to the text of the agreement, 1,000 Palestinian prisoners from Gaza who may be under the age of 19 and were arrested by the occupation forces in the Gaza Strip will be added to these.
For his part, the head of the Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs, Qadura Fares, said: The occupation will release 1,737 Palestinian prisoners within the first phase of the prisoner exchange agreement and ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Fares said: The Zionist enemy is "determined to deport a number of prisoners who will be released", noting that "Zionist intransigence led to the postponement of the release of leaders in the first phase".
He explained, in statements to Al-Arabiya channel on Friday evening, that "the prisoners who will be released in the first phase are 1,737 prisoners, including 296 with long sentences".
He pointed out that "the number of Palestinian prisoners who will be released is linked to verifying the conditions of the Zionist prisoners in Gaza, and knowing the number of them who are alive and dead", which the Hamas movement did not disclose, due to the conditions of genocide and massive destruction in the Strip.
