The Martyrs and Prisoners Office of Hamas and the Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs Authority announced the list of names of the second batch of prisoners in the first phase of the exchange deal today, Saturday. The release of this batch, which includes 200 Palestinian prisoners, comes in exchange for the release of Israeli soldiers Karina Arif, Daniel Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Elbag.

Al-Araby Al-Jadeed has learned that Egyptian officials will receive, in the coming hours, 70 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and long sentences, released from Israeli prisons as part of a prisoner exchange deal. According to Egyptian sources familiar with the negotiations, some of the prisoners will serve their deportation period in Egypt, while others will move to several countries in the coming days, including Turkey, Jordan and Qatar, and some may move to European countries such as Switzerland and Norway.

The sources explained that Cairo has completed the preparations, as the prisoners are scheduled to be transferred to Cairo from Arish via military helicopters. The sources expected that officials from the Egyptian General Intelligence Service will organize a press conference to announce the details of the handover process. The released prisoners will be received by technical teams from the resistance factions in Cairo, which are following up on the implementation of the agreement, as Cairo will provide them with secure accommodation until they move to their other destinations.
