"As part of the ceasefire deal in Gaza, there was an agreement that a certain number of Palestinians would not remain in Palestinian territories. These individuals were to be hosted in designated countries. Upon request, and with the approval of our president, we responded positively." 

Fidan said that the 15 Palestinians were granted visas through the Turkish embassy in Cairo after their release from prison and subsequently traveled to Türkiye.

SOUNDBITE 2 (Turkish): HAKAN FIDAN, Turkish Foreign Minister 
"Any initiative to expel Palestinians from their native lands is contrary to international law and humanity's conscience. Such actions will yield no results other than fueling new conflicts and destabilizing regional peace. We must stand against all attempts to displace Palestinians from their homeland."

A Palestinian official announced on Monday that 60 Palestinian prisoners, released by Israel as part of a ceasefire deal and currently in Egypt, will be deported to Türkiye, Qatar, Malaysia, and Pakistan.
   
Abdullah Zaghari, head of the Palestinian Prisoners Club, said each of the four countries would host 15 Palestinian prisoners.
