In an arrangement overseen by the United States for a cease-fire in Gaza, Israel is preparing to release 250 Palestinian prisoners, potentially as early as next week.

The Israeli government revealed the list of those slated for release on Friday. Although Marwan Barghouti, a highly prominent Palestinian figure, is absent from the list, it does include individuals with a history of serious offenses.

These prisoners were convicted of crimes connected to terrorism over the last 20 years. However, reports indicate they are not linked to the October 7, 2023, assault by Hamas.

Notable individuals expected to be freed include:

Mahmoud Qawasmeh: At 45, he is a senior member of Hamas, previously released in a 2011 prisoner swap. He was later re-arrested in March 2024 for allegedly funding and orchestrating the 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens in the West Bank.

Imad Qawasmeh: A 52-year-old local Hamas leader convicted of directing a double suicide bombing that killed 16 Israelis in 2004. He was tracked down by Israeli soldiers and arrested in his underwear in the West Bank two months after the attack. He is alleged to be one of the “leaders” of the terrorists in prison — where he’s serving 16 life sentences — according to the Prisoners Organization Media Office.

Morad Bader Abdullah Adais: A 25-year-old Palestinian convicted of stabbing to death Dafna Meir, a 39-year-old mother of six, in 2016 with a kitchen knife. He was 16 at the time and allegedly returned home to watch a movie with his family after the slaying.

Bilal Ajarmeh: A Fatah operative convicted of conducting 17 shooting attacks along the highway in Israel and arrested by Israeli special forces in the West Bank in 2003.

Hilmi Abdul Karim Muhammad Hammash: He was sentenced for coordinating the 2004 Jerusalem street bus suicide bombing that killed 11 Israelis, plus the bomber, and wounded 50 others.

Iyad Abu al Rub: An Islamic Jihad commander in the West Bank who was convicted of orchestrating a series of deadly suicide bombings in Israel that killed 13 people between 2003 and 2005.

Ahmad Ismail Ahmad Qawassmeh: A 35-year-old Hamas terrorist serving a life sentence for murdering a rabbi, Shaya Ben David, in 2018.

Baher Badr: A Hamas member who was arrested in 2004 with his brother for planning a bus station suicide bombing near an IDF base that killed eight people.

Ismail Hamdan: A Fatah member who was convicted in the 2002 kidnapping and shooting death of an Israeli man. He was captured at a check point in the West Bank.

Mohammad Nasser Sha’aban Abu Rabea: A 31-year-old Hamas operative serving a life sentence for the stabbing death of two Israeli civilians in 2015.

Barghouti, who will remain behind bars, is serving multiple life sentences after his 2004 conviction for attacks that killed five Israelis.

The Jewish state is also planning to release another 1,700 people seized from Gaza over the past two years and held without charge — another stipulation in the deal reached this week — in exchange for the release of the 48 remaining hostages held by the terror group.

With Israeli troops beginning their agreed-to pullback from the Strip as part of phase one on Friday, Hamas has said it will release the 20 Israeli hostages believed to still be alive by a Monday deadline.
