Turkiye, VIVA – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that his country is willing to accept some Palestinian prisoners who have been freed by Israel under the terms of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Fidan made this statement during his visit to Qatar on Sunday (February 2).

"Our president has stated that we are ready to accept some of the freed Palestinian citizens to support the agreement. Turkey, along with other countries, will do its part in ensuring that the ceasefire agreement remains in effect," Fidan said, as quoted from Al Arabiya site.

The first phase of the Gaza ceasefire focused on the release of 33 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for the release of approximately 1,900 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

However, many of those prisoners will be permanently exiled after their release.

Of the 183 prisoners freed in the latest exchange on Saturday, February 1, 2025, seven Palestinians and one Egyptian were deported.

Speaking at the same press conference on Sunday, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani said that he and Fidan discussed developments in the occupied Palestinian territories and Syria during their closed-door meeting.

Qatar is known to be one of the key negotiators of the Gaza ceasefire, alongside Egypt and the United States (US).
