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.
