Senior Hamas official Nahed al-Fakhouri has announced that the second phase of the prisoner swap deal with Israel will commence next Saturday, January 25.
In a statement released on Monday, Fakhouri explained that the Palestinian resistance will submit the names of the Israeli captives to be released on that day. Concurrently, Israel is expected to provide a list containing the names of Palestinian prisoners who will be released.
Fakhouri emphasized that the prisoner exchange will proceed as outlined in the initial agreement.
The Hamas official further stated that the second phase of the prisoner exchange is scheduled to begin on Sunday, January 26. He stressed the resistance's commitment to continuing efforts towards the release of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
This development follows the implementation of the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement earlier this month, which brought an end to 15 months of Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip. The ceasefire agreement, brokered by Qatar, includes a three-phase framework, with the prisoner exchange being a key component.
During the first phase, Hamas released three Israeli captives, while Israel released 90 Palestinian women and children. (ILKHA)
