Israel delays release of Palestinian prisoners over 'humiliating' handover of hostages

Firstpost  

Israel has said that it is delaying the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, citing the need to ensure the safe handover of the next group of hostages without what it called “humiliating ceremonies.” Israel said on Sunday that it had delayed the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners “until the release of the next hostages has been assured, and without the humiliating ceremonies” during their handover. It said Israel would wait to release the 620 Palestinian prisoners and detainees “until the release of the next hostages has been assured, and without the humiliating ceremonies.” The release of 620 Palestinian prisoners was supposed to take place just after six Israeli hostages were freed on Saturday. Hamas releases six hostages The six hostages freed on Saturday were the last living Israeli captives scheduled for release in the first phase of the ceasefire. On Saturday, the Red Cross received three Israeli hostages in central Gaza—Eliya Cohen, 27, Omer Shem Tov, 22, and Omer Wenkert, 23—all of whom were taken during Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.
