Palestinian Prisoners Freed by Israel Arrive in Ramallah Amid Historic Gaza Ceasefire

Gaza Ceasefire: Two buses carrying Palestinian prisoners freed by Israel arrived in Ramallah on Monday, October 13, in an emotional homecoming that brought tears of joy to families across the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Israel released 250 Palestinians serving long-term sentences and 1,700 others detained during the war in Gaza, following Hamas’ release of the 20 surviving Israeli hostages earlier that day. Many of the freed prisoners arrived with shaved heads, visibly weakened but filled with hope, as families and friends rushed to embrace them. This release marks the first phase of the Gaza accord negotiated last week at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit in Egypt, designed to build conditions for enduring peace. President Donald Trump hailed the development as the “historic dawn of a new Middle East,” highlighting the unprecedented diplomatic milestone and the promise of a new chapter for both Israelis and Palestinians. Emotional reunions, heartfelt celebrations, and the sight of loved ones returning home have made this a historic moment in the region’s journey toward peace.
