The head of Hamas’s Office of Martyrs and Prisoners, Zaher Jabarin, said the efforts of the mediators have led to resolving the obstacles that arose due to the failure of Israel to adhere to ceasefire agreement terms.
Jabarin affirmed in a statement on Friday that the lists of Palestinian prisoners to be released will gradually be announced by the Office.
He pointed out that the steadfastness of the people in the Gaza Strip was the decisive factor behind the completion of this deal.
Earlier today, the Israeli cabinet agreed to implement the deal, which will come into force next Sunday, January 19, according to a statement issued by the office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu’s office had put obstacles at the last minute, hindering the Israeli approval for the ceasefire, which ends 15 months of war.
