Hamas says that 70 of the 200 Palestinian prisoners to be freed by Israel today will be deported outside of Gaza and the West Bank, according to a statement by the terror group.

Israel has said that Palestinians who have been convicted of killing Israelis should be permanently deported if they are freed under the hostage- ceasefire agreement, and would not be allowed to return to homes in the West Bank or Gaza.
