Freed Palestinian Prisoner Fadwa Hamadeh
According to the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and ex-Detainees Affairs, "Israel" is violating the terms of the prisoner exchange deal that was recently made according to the truce agreement with the Palestinian resistance, by pursuing the prisoner freed under the deal, Fadwa Hamadeh.
A one-week Qatari-Egyptian-mediated truce deal that ended on December 1 saw 105 captives, including 80 Israelis, released from Gaza by the Palestinian Resistance in exchange for 240 female and minor male Palestinian prisoners who were arbitrarily detained in Israeli occupation prisons.
The authority explained that a trial session for Hamadeh was held in absentia in the so-called “Haifa Magistrate’s Court,” adding that the judge summoned her to an upcoming session, with the condition that she “appear with her lawyer to pronounce a sentence against her.”
The judge claimed that she “committed violations during her years of captivity against the prison administration and its police, and therefore she must be held accountable for them,” without giving any consideration to her release as part of an official exchange deal.”

The commission declared the incident to be evidence that the Israeli courts are still circulating files of released Palestinian prisoners, and called on mediators like Egypt and Qatar to stand up to the occupation and pressure the occupation to abide by the terms of the truce.
It is noteworthy that Hamadeh, 35, is from the town of Sur Baher in occupied Al-Quds. She was imprisoned in 2017 and sentenced to 10 years after the occupation claimed that she intended to carry out a stabbing attack in the Bab al-Amud area, and she was subjected to harsh interrogation in the occupation prisons.
She was released as part of the prisoner exchange agreement in the recent truce between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation after 6 years of captivity that came with long periods of solitary confinement.
It is noteworthy that on Friday, Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, revealed that its Resistance fighters thwarted an Israeli attempt to free an Israeli occupation soldier who is being held captive in the Gaza Strip. In detail, the Brigades said its fighters discovered the special Israeli forces, confronted it, and wounded two of its members.
Israeli media reported that thousands of Israelis demonstrated on Saturday night in what has become known as the "Hostages Square" in "Tel Aviv", calling for a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance aimed at releasing around 140 Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip.
The protests extended across the Israeli entity to include the occupied city of Haifa, where settlers rallied and carried banners calling for the resignation of the government of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We hear the unnecessary sounds of war, and we see that everything happening is a waste of time," a spokesperson for the families of the Israeli captives said during the demonstration, as cited by Israeli media.
The Israeli occupation has repeatedly violated ceasefire agreements in late November, firing artillery into Gaza and flying warplanes over the Gaza Strip numerous times.
