Gaza prisoner exchange deal
The Zionist regime is set to release one hundred eighty-three Palestinian abductees on Saturday as part of the exchange deal established under the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Of these, 150 detainees will be returned to Gaza, while 32 will be sent to the occupied West Bank. Additionally, an Egyptian prisoner is scheduled for deportation. Earlier, Abu Obaida, the spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, indicated that three Israeli captives would also be released. This is going to be the fourth phase of prisoner exchanges between the Israeli regime and Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip. In previous phases, 15 captives have been released by the resistance groups in exchange for the freedom of hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli jails, many of them women and children.
Qassam commanders martyrdom
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says the martyrdom of Hamas commanders injected fresh blood into the veins of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance. In a statement, the IRGC offered condolences on the assassination of al-Qassam Brigades’ chief commander, Mohammed Deif, by Israel. The statement says such crimes only strengthen and further prepare Palestinians to stand up to the regime. The IRGC called Israel a fake, evil and racist entity. It said the resistance front will continue to support Palestinians in their struggle to end the regime. On Friday, Hamas confirmed the deaths of Mohammad Deif and several other top commanders in Israeli attacks.
Trump 'trade war'
US President Donald Trump will implement tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico, which are his country's three main trading partners. The White House says the tariffs will become effective Saturday. That’s the deadline Trump had earlier set for imposing 25-percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 10-percent tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump has cited the flow of illegal migrants from Canada and Mexico and the alleged entry of a controversial drug into the US from the three countries as the reason for his decision. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has threatened to give an immediate response if the duties come into force. China’s foreign ministry also says the country will defend its national interests in what it calls the trade war.
