US EditionHamas Accuses Israel of Ceasefire Violation Over Palestinian Prisoner List
- On Monday, Israel released at least 154 Palestinian prisoners from an Israeli prison as part of the ceasefire deal, but the Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said they were forced into exile.
- Analysts say the deportations aim to deprive Hamas and other Palestinian groups of a symbolic win and remove the freed, including 250 people serving prison terms and about 1,700 Palestinians seized from Gaza, from political activity.
- Families of released prisoners described freedom as bittersweet after learning relatives would be deported, with Muhammad Imran’s relatives shocked to hear he would be sent abroad after his December 2022 arrest.
- Legal experts argue the exile breaches citizenship rights and prevents released prisoners' families from visiting due to Israel's border controls, with Tamer Qarmout calling the deportations illegal.
- An Egyptian official said 154 freed Palestinians have been sent to Egypt, and previous releases saw detainees deported to Tunisia, Algeria and Turkiye, with others sent into exile.
