Watch: Palestinian prisoners released in West Bank to rapturous crowds

Israel has released 250 Palestinian prisoners as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The prisoners were welcomed by rapturous crowds in the West Bank. This prisoner release is a key component of the truce that ended the recent 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas. The release of these prisoners, many of whom were serving lengthy sentences for security offenses, is seen as a significant gesture by Israel to ease tensions in the region. However, the move has also been met with some criticism, as Israel continues to maintain its control over the West Bank and the ongoing occupation remains a source of contention between the two sides. The prisoner release is viewed as a step towards reconciliation, but the broader conflict between Israel and the Palestinians remains unresolved.
