154 Freed Palestinian Prisoners Reportedly Being Forced Into Exile by Israel
""Exiling Palestinian prisoners is the continuation of captivity by other means,""
""Forcing Palestinian prisoners into exile in Gaza or abroad as a release condition, or expelling them post-detention, is a war crime under international law. This is exile, not freedom,""
""Exile here is turned into a whole system of collective torture, to punish, to isolate, and to erase human connection itself,""
Over 150 Palestinians recently released from Israeli detention are reportedly being forced into exile and deported to an unspecified country, with at least 154 individuals affected. Almost all of the deported were residents of the occupied West Bank, and families expecting reunions were prevented from reuniting with loved ones. The departures occurred under terms tied to a ceasefire deal. Legal authorities characterize forced exile or post-detention expulsion as a violation of international law and a war crime. Israeli control of Palestinian borders has prevented family visits to those deported. The practice is described as collective punishment intended to isolate and erase human connection.
