🤔 Freedom on borrowed time: Israel's prisoner release comes with a catch

Over 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are out of Israeli prisons, but their freedom may be an illusion. The terms of their release make it clear: this is a temporary reprieve, not a pardon.

Their homecoming told the whole story: buses rolled into Khan Yunis and Ramallah under a mandated, eerie silence, with the IDF banning any celebration. The message was unambiguous—celebrate, and you'll be back in a cell.

Here’s why their freedom hangs by a thread:

👉 Charges looming: Israel can re-open their cases at any moment. Their prosecutions are suspended, not dropped.

👉 The West Bank is still a battlefield: The Gaza ceasefire does not apply in the West Bank. With Israeli raids ongoing and the area excluded from the peace plan, re-arrests are a near certainty.

👉 A broken record: Israel has a long history of re-arresting freed militants. With high-profile members of Hamas's armed wing among those released, is anyone truly expecting a different outcome this time?
