Some 15 exiled Palestinian prisoners recently released from Israeli prisons land in Turkey, reports the Al-Araby Al-Jadeed site, citing Egyptian sources.
The Qatari site reports that this week, Malaysia and Indonesia are both expected to receive 15 freed Palestinian prisoners as well.
The first phase of the ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza saw Israel release some 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including over 270 serving life terms in connection with the murders of dozens of Israelis.
