The Palestinian Prisoner Media Office noted that "the release of between 590 to 594 prisoners from the Gaza Strip is expected, with preparations underway to receive them," while adding that the European Hospital in Khan Younis is preparing to receive the freed Palestinian prisoners, meanwhile the Palestinian Prisoner Society said that 445 Palestinian prisoners would be released.

This follows an announcement by Hamas spokesperson Abdul-Latif al-Qanou' that "the captive exchange will take place simultaneously with the handover of the Israeli bodies, in a new mechanism that would guarantee the occupation's adherence."

Al-Qanou' added that Egyptian mediators "guaranteed the exchange", while noting that no "proposal regarding the second phase has been presented to the movement, despite its readiness for it and its keenness to move forward with it to complete all phases of the agreement."

The International Red Cross reported being present at the Karem Abu Salem crossing and the European hospital in Gaza to facilitate the 7th exchange between Hamas and the Israeli occupation.
