Türkiye said on Tuesday that it will accept 15 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel under the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
The National Intelligence Organisation would oversee the transfer of 15 exiled Palestinians to Türkiye via Egypt in the initial phase, the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
Israel said in the ceasefire agreement that some prisoners serving life sentences would not be allowed to return to Palestine.
In this context, Türkiye has agreed to accept some individuals on humanitarian grounds, the statement said.
Since the ceasefire deal took effect on Jan. 19, Hamas has released 18 hostages in exchange for Israel freeing hundreds of Palestinians from its prisons. (Xinhua/NAN)
