Saturday’s fighter planes paraded prisoners on stage in Kahn Yunis, the southern city of Gaza, where Israelis addressed the crowds before their extradition to the Red Cross.
Three men carrying the gift bags given and certificates marking the end of the prisoners were sought for the completion of further exchanges of prisoners under the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad sources said the resistance group had deployed around 200 fighter jets for the handover ceremony.
This release is the sixth since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19th. After last week’s fear, the contract was approaching collapse after Israel refused to allow sufficient humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
Palestinian Prisoners Club advocacy groups said Israel plans to trade and release 369 prisoners. Most of them said they were prisoners in the Gaza Strip who were arrested after the October 7 landmark operation within the southern settlement.
The ceasefire has been much tension since US President Donald Trump announced the controversial fire. His remarks suggest that the US should “take over Gaza, remove people and “own” Palestinian territory.
He proposes moving Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants to Egypt and Jordan, claiming that they are “better.”
Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza, calls Trump’s idea “silly and absurd.” The Arab and other Islamic countries have loudly rejected the plan.
A joint statement from the head of Christian Church of Al Kud on Saturday also opposed forced evacuation.
Gazan said, “they lived in their ancestral lands for generations, but they must not be forced to exile or stripped…the right to remain in the land that forms the essence of their identity.”
Saudi Arabia will host leaders in Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday for a summit on the issue.
Israeli top backer, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was scheduled to arrive in Israel late Saturday ahead of a forecast meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the Gaza ceasefire.
For Palestinians, forced displacement evokes memories of “naqbah” or catastrophe – a massive displacement of Israel’s creation in 1948.
The stage set for Saturday’s release was an illustrated poster depicting the final moments of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed while fighting Israeli forces at the end of October.
It showed that the al-Aqsa mosque, visible through the hole in the wall of the destroyed building, was “no displacement except for Al-Kudos.”
Hamas has issued a statement regarding the release of three prisoners of war. Images of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque at hand oversight, along with the large presence of Palestinians there, were messages to Israel and their supporters. It’s a red line.”
“The release of the sixth batch of enemy prisoners confirms that there is no way to release them through negotiations and by adhering to the requirements of the ceasefire agreement,” he said.
“We say to the whole world. This is no migration except for Al-Quds. This is all displacement initiated by Trump and those who support his approach from the forces of colonialism and occupation. and our response to the call for liquidation.”
