Khaberni - Buses carrying released Palestinian prisoners, based on the agreement between Hamas and Israel to end the war, have arrived in the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
Buses carrying Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli prisons arrived at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.
In the occupied West Bank, buses carrying released prisoners arrived at the Ramallah Cultural Palace on Monday.
The process of releasing Palestinian prisoners from Israeli occupation prisons began after Hamas completed the handover of 20 Israeli detainees in its possession as part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to stop the war in Gaza.
The Red Cross received 20 Israelis who had been detained in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7, 2023, and the Israeli army confirmed their receipt.
The occupation authorities will release 250 prisoners from their prisons serving life sentences, and 1718 prisoners from the Gaza Strip who were captured after the war began on October 7, 2023.
The Israeli occupation authorities had gathered the prisoners scheduled to be released from five central prisons, moving 107 prisoners to the "Ofer" prison in the west of Ramallah and the rest (143 prisoners) to "Ketziot" in the Negev, in preparation for their transfer to the Gaza Strip and then to the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The exchange process of Palestinian detainees and Israeli inmates is supervised by a joint Egyptian-Qatari-American committee, which monitors the implementation procedures of the ceasefire agreement.
On Sunday, the Israeli occupation authorities prevented about 100 relatives of the prisoners who are to be released on Monday and will be deported outside of Palestine from traveling.
Trump announced on the ninth of this month the achievement of an agreement to implement the first phase of his Middle East peace plan, which he declared on the twenty-ninth of September, which stipulates ending the war on the Gaza Strip, withdrawing the occupation from it, allowing entry of humanitarian aid, and the exchange of prisoners.
