Some Palestinian prisoners freed in ceasefire arrive in Turkey
4/2/2025 19:07
Fifteen Palestinian prisoners among dozens freed by Israel under the Jan. 19 ceasefire agreement with Hamas arrived in Turkey on Tuesday following deportation to Egypt, the Hamas prisoners media office said.
They are the first taken in by a third country apart from Egypt under the ceasefire terms, which bar prisoners convicted by Israel of violent attacks from returning to the Palestinian territories.
Palestinians view those jailed for fighting Israel as resistance heroes.
A Turkish security source said 15 Palestinian prisoners were due to arrive via Egypt but gave no more details.
