- 12 years ago
The forty Palestinian prisoners freed by Israel but considered to be too dangerous to return home to Palestine, arrived in Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and Syria on Tuesday night.
Hamas and Qatari officials have hailed the deal as an achievement and hoped its step towards freeing more prisoners held at Israeli prisons.
