The list includes the names of 95 prisoners, with the rest of the names to be published later after the government approves the deal. The ministry stated that the release of the prisoners would not occur before 4:00 PM next Sunday.
Among the prominent names on the list are Khalida Jarrar, a leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP); Abla Abdul-Rasoul (Saadat), the wife of Ahmed Saadat, Secretary-General of the PFLP; and Dalal Khasib (Arouri), the sister of Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri, who was assassinated by the occupation. The list is divided among prisoners, administrative detainees, and detainees awaiting trial.

The spokesperson for the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission, Thaer Shreiteh, stated that the commission does not trust the data released by Israeli authorities and prison administrations regarding the names of prisoners set to be released under the deal. He noted clear errors in the published list, including names of prisoners who had already been released, as well as missing additional information for ten of the listed prisoners.
Shreiteh urged Egyptian and Qatari mediators to intervene to prevent these violations and ensure that Israeli authorities are not allowed to create confusion in Palestinian society and among the families of the prisoners.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club also issued a statement emphasizing that the list published by the so-called “Israeli Prison Service” is part of Israel‘s legal procedures. Palestinian authorities will release an official list once all procedures are finalized and details are confirmed.
