As negotiations for a hostage deal continue, details are emerging regarding the number of terrorists to be released as part of the agreement.
Qadura Fares, the head of the commission for Palestinian prisoner affairs, told Palestinian media on Sunday that he’s preparing to release over 3,000 terrorists.
Fares claims that in the first phase of the deal, 25 Israeli hostages held in Gaza will be released in exchange for the release of 1,200 terrorists from Israeli jails. The released terrorists will include 48 terrorists previously released during the Shalit deal in 2011 who were re-arrested after returning to terror activities; 200 terrorists serving life sentences; and all female and minor terrorists.
It should be noted that slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 massacre, was released in the Shalit deal.
Fares added that about another 1,800 terrorists will be released in exchange for the rest of the hostages, including IDF soldiers. Hamas is demanding a “higher price” for abducted IDF soldiers.
Fares also noted that the terrorists who will be released, apart from those sentenced to life imprisonment, will return to their homes in Yehudah and Shomron, Israel, or Gaza. The others will likely be deported to Qatar, Egypt, or Turkey.

Time to include יגאל Amir to be released who is so much less dangerous than each one of the others to be released let alone for all of them combined
DO. NOT EVER negotiate with Terrorists. Ever
3000? Not bad….will they all be in body bags? They should be
In other words:- Going forward:- All future terrorists need to be administered immediate death penalty irrespective of what the left screams or/& yells:- This procedure would invalidate these savages from being eligible for all future prison swaps/exchanges
3000 murderers-monsters!.. in exchange for 100 babies and mommies and grandparents…sounds about right…makes sense…..doesn’t it? and then we wonder….(if the 3000 are in body bags, then it’s perfect)
Why should Israel listen to the demands of these terrorist murderers and monsters, after they intentionally murdered more than 100 Jewish hostages?
The release of 1,200 terrorists from Israeli jails is one of the stupidest mistakes in all of Jewish History, and it shows the entire world that Israel makes stupid mistakes because they do not learn from History.
Or maybe they make this stupid mistake because of intense pressure from the senile President Joe Biden and the Muslim-loving Marxist Vice President Kamala Harris.
