In anticipation of a ceasefire, the West Bank prepares for the return of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.

Israel's justice ministry announced the release of 95 prisoners, with charges ranging from incitement to attempted murder. Kafr Niema's Ataya family looks forward to their son, Osama's, release to coincide with his birthday celebration.
