00:00Actually, the prisoners, as you just mentioned, 184, have been released by Israel.
00:09111 of those who were arrested by the Israeli army on the eve of that,
00:17after the 7 October attack by Hamas, a number of them, dozens of them,
00:24are those of high sentences.
00:28Another dozen, actually, of those who have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
00:35A number of these prisoners will be deported.
00:40Reports say seven of them will be deported, actually, out of the Gaza Strip
00:47in terms of that ceasefire deal that has been signed between Israel and Hamas.
00:54Those prisoners have been welcomed by the Gaza hospitals for medically checked
01:01before they see their beloved ones and their family members in the Gaza Strip.
01:07That's actually the scene after the successful transfer of three Israeli hostages
01:14to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
01:17The prisoner swap went smooth today, actually,
01:21and this will be followed by other steps instated in that deal
01:27that the Israeli army will withdraw from populated areas,
01:31from the Netzerim corridor or Salah al-Din corridor in the center of the Gaza Strip
01:38to the east of the Gaza Strip,
01:40and it is said that the Israeli army will go deep into the Palestinian territories,
01:46about 10 kilometers.
01:47This is unlike the situation before the 7 October attack
01:52where the Israeli forces were stationed about 300 meters away
01:58from the Palestinian populated areas,
02:01the Palestinian farmland on the east of the Gaza Strip.
02:05Also the Netzerim corridor will be used for the vehicles to go and come both ways on the road,
02:14unlike the past three weeks where only vehicles going or coming to the Gaza city
02:22or northern Gaza allowed to run on that road.
02:25Now both ways will be open for the population starting from Saturday morning, Sunday.
02:33And let us mention here that the second stage, the talks about the second stage will start soon,
02:40and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu preempted this by saying or hinting
02:45at what he believes to be that the talks will be difficult and more difficult and more complicated.
02:53That's the situation for the time being right now in Gaza.
02:57And lastly, for the first time, two of the prisoners, the hostages,
03:02were released from the middle area, the central Gaza Strip, the town of Deir el-Bala.
03:08This is the first thing to have at this fifth stage of the hostages released by Hamas in Gaza.
