The second phase of the exchange of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian prisoners would take place this weekend.
This is after which Palestinians have the opportunity to begin to return from the south to the north of the Gaza Strip, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari said on Tuesday.
“The second stage of the exchange will take place over the weekend. After that, movement from the south to the north will be facilitated,’’ Al Ansari said.
He said this during a weekly news conference, adding the ministry expected this phase of the exchange to go more smoothly.
