The recent release of prisoners to the West Bank as part of a ceasefire deal was met with both joy and heartbreak. Families gathered in anticipation, some reunited with loved ones, while others learned their relatives had been sent to Gaza instead, unable to return home. The atmosphere was tense, marked by heavy police presence and emotional scenes, as many prisoners from the West Bank faced exile and uncertainty. For Palestinians, these releases highlight deeper wounds and unresolved grievances, with restrictions on celebrations and ongoing feelings of injustice. Amid the temporary calm brought by the ceasefire, mistrust and pain continue to shape daily life in the region.
