Red Cross: More must be done by all sides for ‘dignified’ Gaza hostage-prisoner releases

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) criticizes both Hamas and Israel over their conduct during a sixth swap of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

“The ICRC continues to raise its concerns about the way hostage and detainee releases are carried out. Despite repeatedly calling for all transfers to be carried out in a dignified and private manner, more must be done by all sides, including the mediators, to improve future transfers,” the organization says in a statement following the release of three Israeli hostages for 369 Palestinian prisoners.
