Israel has decided to postpone the release of more than 600 Palestinian prisoners scheduled for February 22. This was reported by The Times of Israel, according to UNN.
Details
The reason for this was the outrage over a propaganda video that Hamas released during the last prisoner exchange. The footage shows Israeli hostages watching others being released and asking for their release. This caused serious concern in Israel, as the video appeared to be an element of propaganda that degraded the dignity of the prisoners.
In response to the situation, the Israeli government said that the delayed release process would resume only after receiving guarantees from Hamas that future prisoner exchanges would not be accompanied by such “humiliating ceremonies.
Recall
Earlier, Israel discovered a discrepancy in one of the bodies handed over to Hamas during a truce exchange. The bodies included two children and a woman, but one of the bodies did not belong to the boys' mother, as Hamas claimed.
