Times Of Israel: Defense minister warns freed terrorist Zubeidi: ‘One mistake and you’ll meet old friends’
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a warning to released Palestinian prisoner Zakaria Zubeidi, emphasizing that any support for terrorism would not be tolerated. This comes as Israel released 183 additional Palestinian prisoners in connection with a hostage-ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which has seen the release of several Israeli hostages.
Zubeidi, a former terror chief known for orchestrating attacks during the Second Intifada, was celebrated by Palestinians upon his release. However, Israeli officials warned against any public celebrations in his honor, indicating a zero-tolerance policy towards such gatherings. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and hostage situations, with many Palestinian prisoners released as part of the agreement.
