Israel will release 369 Palestinians in exchange for the three hostages

The next exchange between the two sides is scheduled for Saturday

Newsroom February 15 10:00

Israel will release 369 imprisoned Palestinians as part of the ceasefire agreement with Israel.

According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, three male hostages, Shagi Dekel Chen, Sasha Trufanov and Yair Horn, will be released on Saturday. Hamas notified Israel of the identities of the three hostages to be released through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, having backed down Thursday from a threat to delay the next release.

Hamas had earlier in the week accused Israel of failing to meet its aid obligations under the ceasefire. Israel had rejected the accusation and threatened to resume the war.

For its part, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said 369 prisoners would be released by Israel on Saturday.
