The list of the Israeli Ministry of Justice contains 735 Palestinian prisoners, including the names of Fatah’s main leaders Marwan Barghouti and Zakaria al-Zabidi.

Israeli media reported that the list includes prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment but will be released in exchange for 33 Israelis under the ceasefire agreement.

1,904 Palestinians will be released in the first phase of the ceasefire.

Earlier, Israel also released photos of 33 Israelis who were released from Hamas prison.

It should be noted that on Wednesday, the Qatari Prime Minister announced the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. He said that the first phase of the ceasefire will begin on January 19 (today).

The 6-week ceasefire will be implemented in 3 phases, phase-by-phase prisoner exchanges and negotiations on ending the war.

In the second phase, Hamas will release the prisoners of the Israeli forces and the Israeli army will withdraw from the public places of Gaza. In the third phase, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the reconstruction of Gaza will be carried out.
