A total of 183 Palestinians have been released from Israeli prisons and three Israeli captives have been freed in Gaza, in the fifth swap as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the images of three freed captives in Gaza are “shocking”.
“The shocking images that we have seen today will not go unaddressed,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement after Hamas fighters brought the three pale-looking captives onto a stage.
Speaking about the frail, disoriented appearance of today’s freed Israeli captives, Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, said, “People are starving in Gaza. Children are dying of malnutrition. Because Netanyahu has weaponised hunger and famine.”
He added: “Zionism is responsible for turning Israelis into occupiers, the torturers, the racists.”
