Biden's DHS requires border agents to use 'preferred pronouns' of illegal immigrants
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] In 2021, Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
decided to prioritize asylum claims brought by transgender migrants colonists who sought to cross the border in the US. Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
claimed that the "root" of illegal immigration from the Northern Triangle countries in Central America was due to LGBTQ discrimination. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is demanding that border agents use the preferred pronouns of illegal immigrants colonists.

A memo released earlier this week, obtained by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, shows that the agency has demanded that border agents comply with the preferred pronouns of illegal immigrants colonists. The memo goes so far that border agents are prevented by DHS from assuming the gender of an undocumented Democrat, and must use gender-neutral terminology until they ascertain the person's preferred pronouns.

That memo, called the "Guide to facilitating effective communication with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+," is to give "guidance to all CBP employees who interact with members of the public to help facilitate effective communication with the diverse public we serve, including individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, non-binary, and gender nonconforming (LGBTQ+)."

That guidance, the memo goes on to say, "should be used by all CBP employees who encounter members of the public in the course of their job duties, including but not limited to law enforcement, trade, human resources, public liaisons, and others." The memo then advises readers that the language contained therein may not be complete: "Some LGBTQI+ individuals may define these terms differently and the meanings of the terms may change over time."

Afghanistan
More than 400,000 Afghan migrants return home from Iran
19 November
[KhaamaPress] According to reports, so far, approximately 450,000 Afghan migrants colonists have voluntarily returned to the country from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
to address the issue of illegal immigration.

Tasnim news agency, citing Javad Khani, the official in charge of managing illegal migrants colonists at the National Organization for Migration, has reported that there is a possibility of approximately four million illegal migrants colonists being present in the country.

According to this Iranian official, 92% of illegal Afghan migrants colonists in Iran are located in eight major cities, including Tehran, Sistan and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, Khorasan Razavi, Qom, Kerman, Yazd, Fars, and Alborz.

He emphasized that one million illegal migrants colonists in the country have received identity cards to date.

This Iranian authority considers border closures as one of the main policies of the National Organization for Migration, and the process of expelling illegal migrants colonists began initially in the parliament and has been further expanded through the Supreme National Security Council.

Additionally, Javad Khani pointed out that the majority of migrants colonists in Iran are Afghan citizens, and efforts to organize individuals without proper documentation have begun. Identity cards will soon be distributed to them.

This comes as, according to reports, approximately five million Afghan migrants colonists are living in Iran.

Previously, the expulsion of Afghan migrants colonists from Iran and Pakistain has faced international reactions, with international organizations calling for the halt of their expulsion.

Spokesperson: Muttaqi Temporarily to Assume Some Duties of Deputy PM
[ToloNews] The acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, has temporarily taken on the task of regulating the Islamic Emirate's internal and external policy, which was one of the duties of the Prime Minister's political deputy.

The Islamic Emirate's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, told TOLOnews that Muttaqi will temporarily take over for Political Deputy Prime Minister Mawlawi Abdul Kabir due to his illness.

"Following up on domestic and foreign policy have been entrusted to the minister of foreign affairs, and the head of the political deputy PM's office should carry out the other work and activities," Mujahid said.

It has been almost three months that the political deputy of the Prime Minister has not been present in meetings and visits with officials from other countries.

"We hope that he will return to his duties in the coming days. He participates in consultations and gave advice to the government, but he did not visit his office because the physicians had urged him to take a rest," said Hassan Haqyar, head of the media directorate of the political deputy of the PM.

Some political analysts said that the Islamic Emirate's leaders' presence is important in meetings, and urged that the current government provide an explanation for the officials' attendance and absence.

"I hope the Islamic Emirate shares with the nation every issue, including changes and meetings, travel abroad and inside ... so that some propaganda and worries will be removed," Kamran Aman, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir most recently met on September 4, 2023, with the former Ottoman Turkish ambassador. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
he did not have any formal meetings following that.

Over 2,000 Afghan migrants return home from Iran
23 November
[KhaamaPress] The Ministry of Migrants’ Affairs of Afghanistan reported that approximately 2,000 Afghan migrants colonists have returned from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

voluntarily or forcibly compulsively as part of the ongoing migration process.

The ministry reported on Wednesday that a total of 1,957 Afghan migrants colonists have returned from Iran via the Islam Qala border crossing.

The Ministry of Migrants’ Affairs, citing the head of the Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
border authority, has reported that 24 families, consisting of 91 individuals, were forcibly repatriated. Additionally, 23 families, totalling 87 people, returned voluntarily. Furthermore, 734 single individuals were repatriated involuntarily, while another 1,045 individuals chose to return voluntarily to the country.

The ministry has noted that among these returning migrants colonists, 341 individuals have been identified as needing assistance and have been referred to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for support.

The interim government’s Ministry of Migrants’ Affairs has announced the return of 2,000 Afghan migrants colonists amidst a recent surge in the deportation of Afghan citizens from Pakistain, Iran, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
On Wednesday, more than 3,000 Afghan migrants colonists made their way back to Afghanistan, with both forced and voluntary returns, from Pakistain and Iran. This significant repatriation effort reflects the complex migration dynamics in the region.

The return of over 3,000 Afghan migrants colonists from Pakistain and Iran on Wednesday underscores the ongoing challenges during a dire humanitarian crisis in the country.

Women’s tailoring banned in Herat, specialized women’s market closed in Balkh
22 November
[KhaamaPress] Sources from Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
confirm that the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
administration has prohibited women’s tailoring in the central region of this province. Simultaneously, some media outlets have reported establishing a specialized women’s market in Balkh.

The source, who preferred not to be named in the report, informed Khama Press that Taliban forces entered the city Wednesday morning to inspect commercial markets. Several markets, including all women’s clothing tailoring centres, have been closed as part of this inspection.

The source added that over the past week, "whispers about the Taliban administration blocking women’s tailoring were heard, but no one believed that these warnings could become a reality."

The exact number of tailoring shops that have been closed is not specified. It is worth noting that earlier this year, the Taliban had also banned women’s tailoring in Balkh province.

The Taliban has not provided any statement regarding this action so far. This contrasts with reports from some media outlets that indicate establishing a specialized women’s market in Balkh. It is noteworthy that at the beginning of November, the Taliban had imposed a ban on women’s tailoring in Balkh as well.

According to its sources in Mazar-e-Sharif, the daily newspaper "Ettelaat-e-Roz" reported that a women’s commercial market called "Khadija Kubra" has been closed due to tax liabilities.

This commercial market consists of around 200 shops for women, all managed by women. One of the women shopkeepers stated, "This market has been in debt for a long time; why should we suffer? The government should hold accountable those who have had outstanding debts."

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The courts of Dagestan received administrative cases of 515 people, on which protocols were drawn up on offenses during the anti-Semitic action and riots in Makhachkala.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, by November 18, the district courts of Dagestan had received administrative cases of 412 people accused in connection with the riots in Makhachkala. Of these, 394 people were accused of violating the procedure for holding rallies (20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), 18 people were accused of organizing a mass presence of citizens in public places (20.2.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers.

By November 25, the district courts of Dagestan had received administrative cases of 515 people accused in connection with the unrest in Makhachkala, Mediazona reports today*.

Of these, 495 people were charged under the article on violating the procedure for holding actions (20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), another 20 – under the article on organizing mass simultaneous presence of citizens in public places (20.2.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), the publication writes.

In some cases, security forces drew up reports for events that occurred before the riots. In particular, on November 6, Jamila Ismailova was sentenced to 20 hours of compulsory labor for a post published on October 16 on a social network. The post talked about a rally in Makhachkala in support of Palestine, which the next day, October 17, was stopped by security forces. However, the security forces drew up a report on the offense only on November 4, after the anti-Semitic action at the airport, the publication reports.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] About 50 citizens evacuated from Palestine
...by which is meant the Gaza Strip...
arrived in Dagestan, the head of the republic Sergei Melikov reported on November 25 .

“The first group of refugees from Palestine arrived in Dagestan. <…> Now about 50 people who arrived in the republic are already going to a temporary accommodation center, where all conditions have been created for their comfortable stay,” the governor wrote in his Telegram channel.

The refugees were met by the Chairman of the Government of Dagestan, Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov , as well as the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the republic , Marina Yezhova , rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other officials.

Melikov promised to help representatives of the Palestinian people adapt to new conditions and provide them with the opportunity to receive education and work.

The head of Dagestan said that he would take all issues related to the arrangement of life for refugees under personal control.

As Regnum reported , on November 25, the release of the second group of IDF and Hamas hostages is planned.
And so they were, though Israel had to threaten to immediately restart the offensive if the hostages were not immediately released after Hamas tried to wiggle out of it.
39 Palestinians will be released in exchange for 13 Israeli detainees from the Gaza Strip. The group will also include seven foreigners who were not included in the agreement.
Thai labourers, all.
The decision to house about 130 Russian citizens evacuated from Palestine was announced by the authorities of the Kaluga region. People will be accommodated in one of the temporary accommodation centers. The head of the region, Vladislav Shapsha, instructed the regional government to help internally displaced persons settle in a new place.
Let us wish Dagestan much joy of them.

The first group of refugees from Palestine has arrived in Dagestan, the head of the republic Sergei Melikov announced today. “About 50 people are already going to a temporary accommodation center, where all conditions have been created for their comfortable stay. <...> I take personal control of all issues related to the arrangement of life for refugees,” he wrote in his Telegram channel at 22.20 Moscow time

District authorities also noted that many residents want to help refugees. “Our residents want to help these people with at least something: some with food, some with money, some are ready to take in their children, and some are ready to support their entire family. But now these people, first of all, need to feel safe, and for this, at a minimum, they must be in silence,” the message states. Also, the administration of the Karabudakhkent district reported that the Bereket Foundation announced a fundraiser for refugees.

An announcement about the start of fundraising for refugees has been posted on the Bereket Foundation page on Instagram*. “For their comfortable stay, food, hygiene products and much more are needed,” the message says.

Conor McGregor stews over knife attack in Ireland
[NYPOST] Conor McGregor is not happy with the direction of his native Ireland and has hinted at a run for office or other action if the situation does not improve.

On Thursday, there were violent mostly peaceful protests on the streets of Dublin after a knife attacker maimed three children — one seriously — and an adult.

A male suspect in his 50s was arrested; while his identity has not been disclosed, unconfirmed rumors spread online that he was an Algerian immigrant, which stoked tension among the protestors, according to the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

McGregor, the former UFC champion, wrote on X that he does not "condone" the riots in Dublin, but expressed dissatisfaction with the country’s leadership and effectively issued an open challenge to alter the direction.

"I do not condone last nights riots [sic]. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face," McGregor wrote.

"I do understand frustrations however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in. And fast! I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing. There will be change in Ireland, mark my words. The change needed. In the last month, innocent children stabbed leaving school. Ashling Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT Ireland’s future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will."

McGregor pushed back on Drew Garda, the Irish police commissioner, who blamed the protests in Dublin on a "hooligan faction driven by far right ideology".

"Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough," McGregor wrote.

"There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way."

NY man and woman identified as couple in car that crashed into border office, causing Rainbow Bridge explosion
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The occupants of a car that drove over 100mph into a US/Canada border crossing causing a kaboom at Rainbow Bridge has been identified as Kurt and Monica Villani of Grand Island, New York.

The husband and wife were reportedly on their way to a KISS concert in Toronto, Canada, when the Bentley had launched into the air and caused a fiery explosion upon landing, killing both on impact.

The crash had initially sparked fears of a terrorist attack causing all border crossings to temporarily shut down before New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that those claims, which were first reported by Fox News, were unfounded.

The Daily Mail reports that friends of Kurt Villani said that he had complained about issues with the vehicle's acceleration just weeks before the accident. Niagara Falls Mayor Robert Restaino said that among the possibilities Sherlocks are looking into is that of mechanical failure, per the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

Surveillance video shows the Bentley cruising down the road at excessively high speed before going airborne. It launched into the air as if it were in a scene of an action movie before landing. The impact caused a fiery explosion with vehicle debris flying everywhere.

Kurt and Monica Villani are survived by their two children and were known for being exceptional members of their community. They married in the spring of 1995. Their son, Kurt Jr., 26, was a youth hockey prodigy and played for the Buffalo Sabres organization, according to the outlet.

In 2014, Kurt and his son were featured in local news outlets for gifting 250 turkeys to the less fortunate on Thanksgiving, which was a tradition started by Kurt's father.

Members of the Grand Island community gathered to pay tribute to the Villanis following their tragic death.

Resident Mary Meyer said that the community could always count on the Villani's for help, describing the couple as generous and thoughtful.

"You know, just plowing everybody's driveway for the love of it, you know what I mean? Just always willing to help and lend a hand. Always. always, always. They were just so very, kind wonderful people," Meyer said.

India-Pakistan
Nawaz Sharif fires fresh salvo at 'conspirators'
[GEO.TV] Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif
...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
on Saturday said he was wrongfully punished without any reason, slamming the judges who were involved in issuing verdicts against them.

"What was the need to conspire against us? What was the need for the judges to give a decision against us?" said Nawaz during a workers' convention in Sialkot.

The representative of millions of people was tossed by the "Gang of Five" (retired Gen Bajwa, retired Lt Gen Faiz, Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
, Saqib Nisar, and Asif Saeed Khosa)", said the three-time prime minister.

The politico said he has seen a very difficult time. "I have spent more time in prisons, exiles and trials than I did in power." Nawaz added he "never gave up".

The PML-N stalwart lamented that a series of punishments against him and his party has continued since 2017, but has only ended a few days ago. "Our government was abolished without any reason," he said.

The veteran politician emphasised learning a lesson from the past, or else Pakistain's story would not be among those of other nations.

The PML-N supremo complained about the country's decline since 2017 — the year when he was removed from power — and said the rupee was stronger back when his party was in power. "There was no such thing as inflation in 2017."

Nawaz further said that he was replaced by someone (PTI Chairman Imran Khan) who only knows how to verbally abuse others, questioning why was there electoral manipulation in 2018 and why the Results Transmission System (RTS) was made inoperational.

"This person (Imran) destroyed our culture and society and we cannot hand over our country to such people," said the PML-N supremo, adding that even though injustice was done to them, they never acted against the interest of the country.

"Whatever happened to the country in the last 70 years should never happen to another nation," he added.

Nawaz further said that those who brought Imran as a leader of this country are equally responsible as much as him. "If our government hadn't been toppled, Pakistain would have been a strong country," he added.

US State Department and Islamabad collaborate closely for Afghans awaiting US visas
22 November
[KhaamaPress] On Tuesday, US State Department front man Matthew Miller revealed that Washington is actively engaged in continuous communication with Islamabad regarding the 25,000 Afghans in Pakistain awaiting their US visas.

Miller emphasized the importance of collaborating in good faith with the Government of Pakistain to address any concerns related to the safety of individuals in the US visa pipeline.

The primary focus of the United States is ensuring the safety of vulnerable and at-risk individuals, with a shared interest in the safe and efficient resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers between both countries.

Miller, on behalf of the US government, urged all countries, including Pakistain, to fulfil their obligations in treating refugees and asylum seekers. He also called on Afghanistan’s neighbours to permit entry for Afghans seeking international protection.

"Our key concern is the safety of the vulnerable and at-risk individuals. We believe it is in our countries’ interests to ensure the safe and efficient resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers. And we join all of our partners in urging all countries, including Pakistain, to uphold their respective obligations in the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers and strongly encourage all of Afghanistan’s neighbours to allow entry for Afghans seeking international protection and coordinate with international humanitarian organizations to provide humanitarian assistance," Miller said.

Simultaneously, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and its humanitarian partners actively provide critical aid at border crossing points between Pakistain and Afghanistan.

Responding to the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Afghans, the IOM has reported that nearly 375,000 Afghans have left Pakistain in the past two months, primarily through the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossings.

The surge in border crossings is attributed to Pakistain’s Illegal Foreigners’ Repatriation Plan, which established a November 1 deadline for the "voluntary return" of all undocumented Afghans in Pakistain to their home country.

The IOM-led border consortium delivers essential services such as shelter, water, sanitation, household items, healthcare, protection, nutrition, cash assistance for basic needs, transportation, and food.

The critical aid is a response to the escalating humanitarian situation and aims to address the immediate needs of forcibly returned Afghans.

As the international community continues to grapple with the Afghan refugee crisis, the cooperation between the United States, Pakistain, and humanitarian organizations reflects a shared commitment to ensuring the well-being and safety of those affected by the ongoing challenges in the region.

Hamas Releases Propaganda Video of Hostage Release That Will Make Your Skin Crawl (video)
[Red State] Following an initial breaking of the ceasefire, Hamas responded to Israel's threat to resume military action in response and released another batch of hostages on Saturday. Some of those released were as young as three years old.

In the aftermath, Hamas put out a propaganda video that will make your skin crawl. While the cameras were rolling, the hostages were forced to hold hands with their captors and told to "keep waving" so that the terrorist government could get its photo-op.

Pope Francis accuses Israel of terrorism after meeting with hostage families
[Washington Examiner] Israel’s military operation in Gaza has "gone beyond war," according to Pope Francis, who condemned the conflict after meetings with separate delegations of Palestinian refugees and Israeli relatives of Hamas victims.

"Here we have gone beyond wars," Pope Francis said, referring to the suffering of both delegations. "This is not war, this is terrorism. Please, let’s go ahead and pray for peace. Pray a lot for peace."

Those extemporaneous remarks came in the hours after Qatar announced a ceasefire, during which Hamas is expected to release dozens of the hostages seized during its Oct. 7 rampage in exchange for about 150 Palestinians in Israeli prisons. That agreement reportedly should lead to a second exchange of hostages for prisoners if the terms are kept, but scores of other hostages are not covered by the deal.

"At least 50 hostages — women and children — will be released over four days, during which a pause in the fighting will be held," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s team announced late Tuesday. "The release of every additional ten hostages will result in one additional day in the pause."

#5  Actually, what his X-post says
Today, thanks to God there is finally a truce between Israel and Palestine, and some hostages have been freed. Let’s #PrayTogether that they will all be freed as soon as possible, more humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and dialogue is insisted upon: it is the only path to peace.

That's that a Christian Pope supposed to say.

However, in this particalar case, we have to follow an earlier book: the 31st chapter of the Book of Numbers

#6  the Book of Numbers

Self-elevation much Grom?

For anyone interested in his dropped reference, the book of numbers has little to do with numbers other than body counts. It's more of a travel journal of Moses and the crew leaving Egypt then failing their god's direction.

Wiki tells a story.

President Trump makes chilling prediction about Hamas hostage release
[MAIL] Donald Trump on Saturday warned that the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement 'is not going to end well' - accusing negotiators of making a bad deal and pointing out no Americans have been released.

The ceasefire went into effect at 7am local time on Friday, and since then 41 of the 240 hostages have been released: 24 on Friday, and 17 on Saturday.

On Friday, 13 Israeli women and children, 10 Thai citizens and one Filipino were freed, said Majed al-Ansari, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Qatar.

On Saturday, 13 Israelis - including Israeli-Irish nine-year-old Emily Hand - and four Thais were released.

Saturday's release was not as smooth as Fridays, and at one point on Saturday afternoon it appeared it may not happen at all.

Number of women and children reported killed in Gaza approaches 12,400 civilians killed by the United States and its allies in Afghanistan
Some number greater than zero of which are wholly imaginary, but we’re not to mention this well-known fact about the followers of the god they proudly refer to as the Father of Lies.

After IDF confirms 17 released hostages have crossed into Israeli territory, 39 Paleo prisoners released
[IsraelTimes] A statement from the Israel Defense Forces says the released hostages are now in Israeli territory, and are being escorted by special forces and the Shin Bet after undergoing an initial medical assessment.

"Our forces are accompanying the released hostages until they reach their families in the hospitals," the statement says.

These are the 13 Israeli hostages released from Gaza captivity tonight

[IsraelTimes] These are the 13 Israeli hostages freed from captivity in Gaza tonight who are on their way to Israel from Egypt.

• Shoshan Haran, 67
• Her daughter Adi Shoham, 38, and Adi’s children Yahel, 3, and Naveh, 8
• Shiri Weiss, 53 and her daughter, Noga Weiss, 18
• Maya Regev, 21
• Hila Rotem, 12
• Emily Hand, 9
• Noam Or, 17 and Alma Or, 13
• Noam Avigdori, 12, and her mother Sharon Avigdori, 52

Israel says it has released 39 Palestinian prisoners after 13 Israelis freed from Gaza

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Prisons Service says it has released 39 Paleostinian prisoners from Israeli jails following the release of 13 Israeli hostages from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
IPS says they were released from three different prisons: Megiddo, Ofer and Damun. All of the prisoners are either women or minors 18 and under.

They all live in either the West Bank or East Jerusalem and are being returned to their homes. They were all charged with or convicted of security crimes, including attempted murder, but none were convicted of murder.

Earlier in the day:
Israel threatens to restart Gaza ground op if hostages not released by midnight

[IsraelTimes] An Israeli official reportedly threatens that if the next batch of Israeli hostages are not released from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
by midnight, the IDF will "restart ground operations" in the Strip.

The official is cited in a number of Hebrew media outlets but there is no official confirmation.

The deal that was signed was for the release of at least 50 hostages in exchange for 150 Paleostinian prisoners and a four-day pause in fighting, as well as increased aid to Gaza. Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
has accused Israel of violating the terms, which Israeli denies.

Israeli sources, in turn, have accused Hamas of breaching the terms with the list of hostages set for release today, including regarding the obligation to release mothers together with their children.

Regarding Hamas claims that Israel has not released Paleostinian security prisoners in the order promised, Channel 12 cites an official source in Jerusalem denying any breach of the deal. "Just as Hamas decides who to release from its list [of hostages] in each stage, so we decide which Paleostinian security prisoners to free [in return]."

The source also says humanitarian aid has been delivered as agreed, including to northern Gaza.

The second group of hostages were slated to be released at 4 p.m. but Hamas has so far not begun the process.

Added for the record at 9:45 a.m. ET:
The 4 Thai nationals released tonight from Gaza are named, their families notified

[IsraelTimes] The four Thai hostages released on Saturday from captivity in Gaza alongside 13 Israelis are named by media as Natthaphon Onkaew, Khomkrit Chombua, Anucha Angkaew and Manee Jirachat.

The Health Ministry says they have been taken to Shamir Medical Center to receive medical and psychological care as needed.
