The meeting was attended by Minister of Prisoners’ [Affairs] Issa Karake and released prisoners Rafe’ Karajeh, Muhammad Nasr, Asrar Samrin, Ismat Mansour and Musa Qar’an… [Hamdallah] explained that the government would devote everything it could in order to provide dignified lives for the released [prisoners], despite the great financial difficulties and political challenges facing the Palestinian people, and he sent greetings to all male and female prisoners in the occupation prisons.”
