Ban on Celebrations

Israel Katz directed the Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, and the Israeli military command to take stringent measures to suppress celebrations related to the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The order specifically targets the West Bank, where Palestinians held mass marches and car rallies displaying Palestinian and Hamas flags. Security forces are authorized to intervene, with orders to use live fire if armed individuals resist.

Palestinian Response

The release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners sparked widespread celebrations in cities like Beitunia and Tubas. In Beitunia, Palestinians gathered near buses carrying freed prisoners, rejoicing with dancing and fireworks. In Tubas, a car rally with Palestinian and Hamas flags marked the occasion.

Israeli Preventive Actions

Ahead of the prisoner exchange, Israeli police conducted raids on the homes of Palestinian prisoners in East Jerusalem (Al-Quds) to prevent any celebratory gatherings.

Political Context

Prisoner swaps remain a sensitive issue. For Palestinians, such events symbolize resistance and national unity. For Israel, these occasions are often linked to heightened security concerns. The ban on celebrations raises questions about Palestinians' right to express joy and hold public gatherings.
