Who are the Palestinian prisoners released by Israel in November 2023?
As Israel is mulling another hostage deal, that could include the release of Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Israeli prisons, the IDSF Research Department has looked into the profile of the Palestinian prisoners released during the November 2023 swap deal between Israel and Hamas. Initially, Israel and Hamas agreed on a four-day deal mediated by Qatar that would pause hostilities to exchange captives. The deal, which began Nov. 24, was extended multiple times, allowing for the release of more hostages. The original four-day cease-fire was extended to seven days between Friday the 24th of November and Thursday the 30th of November. The United States pushed for a broader deal that could also encompass the release of men and military personnel, but negotiations broke down and the war resumed on Friday the 1st of December.
