The occupation prevents the travel of relatives of deported prisoners abroad news

Israeli Channel 15 reported that the Israeli authorities have prevented the travel of about 100 relatives of Palestinian prisoners who will be released tomorrow, Monday, and will be deported abroad.

The channel added that the prisoners’ relatives were planning to travel to Jordan and then Egypt to meet the prisoners scheduled to be deported outside Palestine.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for committing war crimes in Gaza, said that he expected the Israeli detainees to be handed over to the Red Cross on Monday morning, adding that the release of the Palestinian prisoners would take place after the detainees arrived in Israel.

Deal and procedures

In turn, the Israeli government spokeswoman said in a press conference that the release of all Palestinian prisoners included in the deal will take place after confirming the release of all 20 Israeli detainees.

Regarding the bodies of Israeli prisoners, the spokeswoman said that they are ready to receive the bodies of the deceased detainees – numbering 28 – after the release of the living ones.

On the Palestinian side, a leading source in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) told Al Jazeera that the movement has conducted extensive contacts with mediators to improve the lists of Palestinian prisoners scheduled to be released.

He added that the mediators are still working to reach a final settlement regarding the lists of prisoners, despite the occupation’s refusal.
