Ammon News - Israeli occupation Justice Ministry has released the names of 737 Palestinians slated to be released from Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli captives in Gaza as part of the first phase of the ceasefire, which comes into effect on Sunday.

Most of the prisoners on the list are women, and only one prisoner on the list under the age of 18 at the time of their arrest was convicted of murder, according to Ynet.

The list of names on the ministry's website shows that a vast majority of those arrested were after October 7, 2023. Less than 10 were arrested before the attacks.

Among the prominent names on the list is attorney Khalida Jarrar, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council who represents the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
