They include women and children.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those families have been responding to Israel\u2019s decision to suspend the releases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe families of the POWs [prisoners of war] are in a state of anger, a state of sadness, a state of resentment, and the mediators must do their part as they started to complete it so that the families of the POWs can rejoice at the release of their POWs who were supposed to be released today,\u201d said Bassam al-Khatib.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have received your POWs so why delay the handing over of our Palestinian POWs? This is something that hurts the heart, the lack of commitment and a disregard for all international standards and laws, and a disregard for the countries sponsoring this agreement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Bader Abu Alia, the family member of a Palestinian prisoner who was set to be released on Saturday, said the relatives of the detainees came with young children to welcome their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The families waited in the cold weather and rain all day, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came with our wives and children, as you can see, all these are family members and we were surprised to see that there is a delay. This time that passes is burdening us, it\u2019s heavy, every minute feels like an hour or day,\u201d Abu Alia told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you see, people are devastated. Hopefully, God will help them and they will be released as soon as possible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/510091\/Israel-postpones-release-of-620-Palestinians\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office says the release of Palestinian prisoners planned for Saturday has been paused \u201cuntil the release of the next hostages is guaranteed, and without\u00a0the rituals of humiliation\u201d.
