AI Summary:
Dania Hanatsheh was released from an Israeli jail this week. It was the second time she had been freed as part of a deal between Israel and Hamas to pause the war in Gaza. Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are to be released in the first phase of the ceasefire deal. Israel's justice ministry says Hanatsheh was detained for “supporting terror” although she was never charged or given a trial and doesn't belong to any militant group. Since the start of the war 15 months ago, the number of Palestinians in Israeli jails has doubled to more than 10,000, a figure that includes detainees from Gaza. Many prisoners are never told why they were detained. Khalida Jarrar, 62, has been in and out of prison as a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. She was last detained late in 2023 as part of an unjust Israeli crackdown on non-violent political opposition. Some families worried the ceasefire wouldn't last long enough for their relatives to be freed. Negotiations on the second phase begin on the sixteenth day of ceasefire. Micah Avni’s father, Richard Lakin, was shot and stabbed to death by a member of Hamas on a public bus in 2015. His killer's name is on the list of prisoners to be freed in phase one. Israel has a history of agreeing to lopsided exchanges. Amal Shujaeiah spent more than seven months in prison, accused by Israel of partaking in pro-Palestinian events at her university. Back home, the 21-year-old beamed as she embraced friends and relatives.
