11:06 am
consideredone of the biggest one israeli soldier and prisoners, so 1027 prisoners, so much anticipation about what is going happen in coming going to happen in the coming hours. . . . going to happen in the coming hours. . . , ., ., hours. that was the deal that released yahya _ hours. that was the deal that released yahya sinwar, - hours. that was the deal that released yahya sinwar, who l hours. that was the deal that - released yahya sinwar, who went on to become leader of hamas in rgaza strip gaza strip and to plan the gaza strip and terelan ~ ~ ~~ october the gaza strip and teeelan ee ee eeeee october the the gaza strip and teeelan ee ee eeeeee october the attacks, these october the 7th attacks, so there was a lot of frustration in israeli circles that had been released and this dangerous figure. becameethisedangerous figure. us about the people who tell us about the people who have released, some have tell us about the people who havt quite released, some have tell us about the people who havt quite released, som to ave tell us about the people who havt quite released, som to my 77alig7ns77 77 77 77 aligns with 7 fears from 7 77 77f7e7a7rs7fr7om the mentioned, fears from the israeli side about ones with sentences, whether they long sentences, whether they deserve to be released and what will happen in the much will happen in the future. much discussion about they discussion about where they will head next, perhaps deportations. we know that the first location, they will likely go to egypt, then likely go to egypt, and then following that there is much anticipation whether they will go to either qatar, pakistan, go to either qatar. pakistan. or turkey, so much
11:07 am
go to either qatar. pakistan. or about', so much go to either qatar. pakistan. or about the much go to either qatar. pakistan. or about the fate :h go to either qatar. pakistan. or about the fate of go to either qatar. pakistan. palestinian the fate of go to either qatar. pakistan. palestinian prisoners. i those palestinian prisoners. on the �*side, there is the the other side, there is the sense of unfairness and grievance, they feel grievance, and they feel there is another form of and is another form of sentence and they not really being wondering g,, a happen next. ti e a rison at the pictures of a prison at the moment. tell us the moment. tell us about the of the israeli choreography of the israeli hostages, it has been similar each time, what happens now each time, but what happens now with the prisoners once they are released? s0 with the prisoners once they are released?— with the prisoners once they are released? so you are right, if we compared _ are released? so you are right, if we compared the _ are released? so you are right, if we compared the release - are released? so you are right, | if we compared the release days previous weeks, every time from previous weeks, every time it is largely similar, but are quite some there are quite some differences. for example, if differenses. for example. if look at the differenses. for example, if look at the podium that was youglook at the podium that was different locations, erected in different locations, there are different pictures, different messages, and i largely align with the political discussion of the ef�*l'f'le diseases“ e�*f the either earliest deeueeee at the either talking people 77 7777 7 people 5 sending relocating people or sending messages to the us, or to inside internationally, or to inside israel. so are still monitoring what is happening,
11:08 am
but is much anticipation but there is much anticipation about the release which should in the coming hours. follow in the coming hours. is to follow in the coming heurs. is to slower today is expected to be slower compared to previous days compared to previeus days number is and are looking :—: 77 to possibly % 77 to possibly what 77 77 to possibly what will ahead to possibly what will happen with following ,,--..ang . if” 7 and whether £55 jhétfi?" jan w” rant; wzhetliezr: will go stages and whether we will go to the second of the agreement, but 7 agreement, but there ceasefire agreement, but there is a name that is being widely, the longest discussed widely, the longest serving palestinian prisoner in prisons 7prisons spent fprisons spent 44 israeli prisons having spent 44 years captivity, he is known years in captivity, he is known as the dean of prisoners. people are searching for his :-=: in the releaseflist, and is anticipation there is much anticipation about this person in particular. about this person in articular. ., , particular. because he has served so _ particular. because he has served so long _ particular. because he has served so long or- particular. because he has served so long or he - particular. because he has served so long or he could become figure? it be? is $1th is the bgtg is the longest palestinian 77 palestinian prisoner at yea rs, years, he . years, he has years, he has been previously but then released previegely but then once again,
