00:00It's colossal for people in the West Bank. If you go back to when the last
00:05release, after the last ceasefire, when the last releases took place, the
00:09celebrations in Ramallah and across the West Bank were colossal. So one could
00:14expect that once the names are released and once the releases
00:18actually start happening, the celebrations are going to be pretty big
00:22here as well this time around. The Israelis have set things up slightly
00:27differently this time. This time it's the Israeli Prison Service who will bring
00:35the Palestinian prisoners as far as the West Bank and up until that point no
00:42celebrations are being allowed at all. Once they cross to areas like Ramallah,
00:47celebrations can and will take place. For many people here it's going to be an
00:53enormous relief, just as on the Israeli side. There are people here, families
01:00here, who haven't seen their loved ones, their relatives for weeks, for months in
01:05some cases and even longer. Now we understand that security has been
01:10reinforced at certain points in the West Bank. What can you tell us about that?
01:17Well yeah, security is up obviously because there is concern that
01:22there could be incidents, but most of it is going to be concentrated on the areas
01:26where the release of Palestinian prisoners or the transfer
01:31rather of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli to the Palestinian side take
01:36place. So at checkpoints for instance one can expect to see heightened security.
01:41The Israeli Prison Service will be accompanied by the Israeli
01:47Defence Forces on the way to the checkpoints. After that there is no sign
01:52at this stage that there's going to be heightened IDF security on the path from
01:57the checkpoint to places like Ramallah where I am now.
