Gaza receives 23 Palestinian prisoners instead of Egypt deportation under 2025 swap
Twenty-three Palestinian men released under the 2025 Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange were dropped into Gaza rather than deported to Egypt as expected, effectively shifting their confinement from prison cells to a blockaded territory. The prisoners, who had been held in Israeli detention, now face severe movement restrictions under Gaza's border closure and humanitarian constraints. The development raises questions about the implementation of the swap agreement and the practical outcomes for released detainees in a territory facing chronic shortages of food, fuel, and medicine.
