Breaking News: Israel Deports Palestinian Prisoners to Egypt Amid Growing Backlash
TEL AVIV, Israel - In a move that has sparked controversy, Israel has deported 154 Palestinian prisoners to Egypt, where they will be sent into exile. The prisoners, serving long sentences for deadly attacks against Israelis, were released from prison in October as part of a hostage swap with Hamas.
The deportees, who were arrested in Gaza on suspicion of taking part in hostilities, were sent to Cairo on Sunday, with their final destination still undetermined. Israeli security experts say the deportation is a strategic move to prevent the prisoners from returning to their homes in the Palestinian territories.
The decision to deport the prisoners has raised concerns among some Israelis, who question the practice of sending convicted terrorists into exile. Critics argue that the move undermines Israel's justice system and could create a precedent for future releases.
The deportation comes as Israel is facing growing pressure to address the issue of Palestinian prisoners. The move is seen as a response to the growing backlash against Israel's handling of the prisoner releases.
