Hamas is set to release Hisham al-Sayed, a Bedouin-Israeli hostage who was abducted by the group in 2015. Al-Sayed, who has schizophrenia, crossed into Gaza before being captured. The release is part of a hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Al-Sayed's father has criticized Hamas for holding his son and stated that they do not deserve what they are going through. Human Rights Watch has condemned Hamas for detaining individuals with mental health conditions and called for their release.
