In a recent announcement on their social media platforms, the Islamic Jihad group, an organization banned in Russia, has declared that they will release an Israeli soldier held captive by them once all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are freed. This statement comes after Israel revealed a potential date for the release of Palestinian prisoners.
On November 22nd, the Israeli government approved a deal with Hamas for the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. According to the agreement, a four-day ceasefire will be declared, during which Hamas will free 50 women and children in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners. Additionally, representatives from the Red Cross will be allowed access to provide necessary medical assistance to the remaining hostages.
This development comes in the midst of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has seen heightened tensions in recent times. A political analyst has identified this exchange of prisoners as one of the factors contributing to the escalation of the conflict.
