Zakaria Zubeidi a Palestinian prisoner is set to be released soon this is part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. The release is happening after the ceasefire starts on Sunday. Zubeidi is known for escaping from an Israeli prison back in 2021. He is one of 735 Palestinian prisoners who will be released according to a list from the Palestinian Justice Ministry that came out Saturday morning.
This ceasefire agreement is meant to stop the fighting and includes swapping prisoners. Zubeidi is a well-known Palestinian prisoner who was in jail before he escaped and then got caught again. Releasing prisoners is a big part of this ceasefire deal that is supposed to calm things down.
Putting Zubeidi in the prisoner exchange shows how important Palestinian prisoners are in this conflict. His past escape which was kind of a problem for Israeli authorities showed how secure those prisons are. This release of prisoners is part of a larger deal that’s supposed to help stop the violence over time.
