Israel and Hamas agreed to a deal to halt fighting in Gaza and exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, an official briefed on the deal told Reuters on Wednesday, opening the way to a possible end to a 15-month war that has upended the Middle East.
Israeli “hostages” and Palestinian “prisoners”. The writer’s choice of words says a lot.
Every one in Palestine is an Israeli prisoner.
One could argue everyone is Palestine is an Israeli hostage. If anyone seriously threatens Israels existence they will just start killing them even harder.
Well, the Palestinian prisoners are political prisoners in prison, so “prisoners” isn’t wrong. But they are also hostages.
Well it’s Reuters so pretty low quality garbage.
