During the first day of the release of Palestinian children and women prisoners, “people just poured into the streets, surrounding the buses – the buses couldn’t move,” Jon said. “Everybody’s cheering. Remember, we’re talking about children that are being released here. This release was a small number of women, many of them were young women. And then children under the age of 18. And the vast majority of them are not charged with any crime. They’re in administrative detention. They don’t know the charges against them … they’re tortured.” We showed video footage of some of the reunions of children and women with their families. “This is the footage that people suffered through in Gaza, waiting for,” Jon remarks. "The punishment delved out onto Gaza was an effort to prevent these moments. This prisoner exchange could have happened right away, particularly this phase of it, this stage where the women and the children are exchanged for women and children. This could have happened right away."
