Settlers in the northern West Bank have set up billboards welcoming the release of 16 Israelis after Defence Minister Israel Katz terminated administrative detentions for all settlers over the Gaza ceasefire deal, Al Jazeera reports.

Pictures of four of them are plastered on the billboards, The Times of Israel has reported. On the other side, a message in Arabic read “There is no future in Palestine,” alongside a picture of displaced Palestinians fleeing their homes in Gaza.

The message was also posted on social media by settlers, urging all Palestinians to emigrate, the Israeli newspaper reported.
