Occupier releases seventh batch of Palestinian prisoners
The Zionist enemy authorities released, at dawn on Thursday, the seventh batch of Palestinian prisoners with life sentences and high sentences from Ofer and Al-Maskoubiya prisons, in the "Freedom Flood" deal within the ceasefire understandings and prisoner exchange between the Palestinian resistance factions and the Zionist enemy.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office said that the enemy released the seventh batch of the prisoner exchange deal, which included the liberation of 642 prisoners, including: 151 prisoners with life sentences and high sentences, distributed as follows: (43 prisoners to the West Bank and Quds, 97 prisoners who will be deported abroad, 11 prisoners from Gaza who were arrested before October 7), in addition to 445 prisoners from Gaza detainees after October 7 and 46 female and child prisoners.
According to Al Jazeera, 12 buses carrying released prisoners arrived at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
The European Hospital spokesman told Al Arabiya TV that the condition of the released prisoners is appalling and they suffer from severe emaciation due to severe torture in the prisons of the Zionist enemy.
The crowds received the seventh batch of released prisoners in the courtyard of the European Hospital amidst chants of Takbir and support for the resistance, led by the Al-Qassam Brigades.
Meanwhile, a public reception ceremony was held in central Ramallah for 37 released Palestinian prisoners from the West Bank who were released as part of the first batch, from the seventh exchange batch.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said in a press statement that the movement responded to the mediators' request regarding arrangements for exchanging the bodies of the "Israeli" prisoners according to new mechanisms that guarantee the occupation's commitment to implementing the entire process.
He pointed out that Hamas seeks to ensure the release of prisoners from the prisons of the Zionist enemy as a priority in any exchange process.
The occupier had delayed the release of the seventh batch of Palestinian prisoners on its scheduled date last Saturday, which was supposed to include the release of 602 prisoners, after the Palestinian resistance released six "Israeli" prisoners, claiming that "it wants guarantees that no provocative measures will be taken against it during the delivery of the next batches," according to his expression.

National Interest : Houthi Threat to Red Sea Will Persist Without Consequences
Aden — In a sharply worded analysis, The National Interest magazine cautioned that Yemen's Houthi militia will continue to endanger international shipping in the Red Sea unless it faces tangible repercussions for its escalating attacks. The article, co-authored by researchers Mark Dubowitz and Kobi Gottlieb, argues that diplomatic efforts led by the United States and Saudi Arabia have failed to deter the Iran-backed group. Instead, the Houthis have exploited ceasefires to rearm and intensify their operations, including ballistic missile launches on Israeli targets and dozens of assaults on commercial vessels since October 2023. Global Maritime Security at Risk - Houthis' actions have disrupted global supply chains, threatening one of the world's most vital maritime corridors. - The threat, the authors stress, extends beyond Israel and now jeopardizes international trade and civilian safety across the region. Call for a Harder Line The report urges the U.S. administration to abandon its 'de-escalation at any cost' approach and instead adopt: - Stricter sanctions - Heightened diplomatic pressure - Potential military intervention, if necessary The authors emphasize that 'ceasefires must be earned, not given', warning that agreements with terrorist-designated groups are unreliable without credible deterrence mechanisms. As tensions mount in the Red Sea, the article reflects growing international concern over the Houthis' role as a strategic proxy for Iran, and the urgent need for a decisive response to safeguard maritime stability.
