Israel frees scores of Palestinian prisoners under deal with Hamas, but arrests dozens more

Published November 28, 2023 at 8:06 AM EST

We speak to Tala Nasir, lawyer with Addameer, the Palestinian prisoner and human rights organization, about why there are so many Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons and what conditions they face.
