The Israel Prison Service says it is taking measures to prevent any “public displays of joy” when Palestinian prisoners are released as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The escort from ‘Shikma’ Prison will not be handled by civilian buses of the [International Committee of the] Red Cross,” the statement says.

Instead “special units” from the prison service would handle transport, the statement says.

Yakobi also tells prisoners earmarked for release to “refrain from expressions of joy within Israel.”

      Yup, and when they killed her she was wearing a Press vest.

      Israelis are fucking war criminals.

        And the state department is still waiting for Israel to investigate themselves on that one. And any subsequent crimes.

    The sign of the good guys: being against joy.

    That’s how you know you’re living your life right.

    When you hate joy.

    “refrain from expressions of joy within Israel.”

    was there any chance of that in the first place?

    Disgusting fascists. I won’t even insult the porcine persuasion by associating their kind with these fascists.

    I’ve seen a mob of a dozen 2-year-olds at a birthday party behaving more maturely and humanely than this, what the hell…

    IMO don’t link directly to “Times of Israel”, use an archiver link.

    They know they lost the war, and they’re trying to hide it.

      This isn’t a new thing. It’s not the first time they’ve prohibited people from celebrating their loved ones’ release. That’s a regular practice on their part. The folks (often kids at time of capture) they let go are also typically dehydrated and emaciated.

        That’s the point, any hostage they have to release is a defeat.
