Jon Donnison, of the BBC, looked at Ramallah the Palestinian prisoners released by Israel welcomed by enthusiastic crowds in the West Bank.
Israel is expected to release up to 200 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, but about 70 should be expelled.
Earlier, four Israeli hostages returned to Israel after being returned to the Red Cross by Hamas in the city of Gaza.
This is the second stage of a release from Israeli hostages and an exchange of Palestinian prisoners since a cease-fire was agreed at the beginning of the month.
