Israeli officials involved in the release of Palestinian prisoners from Ofer Prison accused Red Cross representatives late on Sunday of intentionally delaying the process to extend it past the agreed-upon timeline.
The officials claim the move aims to portray Israel as failing to uphold its commitments under the agreement. The matter has been referred to Israeli security authorities for investigation.
Under the terms of the deal, 90 Palestinian prisoners are slated for release, including 69 women and 21 men. Red Cross officials have yet to respond to the allegations.
