GAZA/TEL AVIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israel’s government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
Their hostages vs our prisoners (that we hold without trial or accusation)
No bias detected.
Edit: Confirmed that hostage is the terminology used by Hamas to describe their Israeli captives.

“Therefore, we declare that any targeting of our defenceless civilians’ homes without prior warnings will be met with the execution of an Israeli civilian hostage in our custody, and this event will be broadcast publicly“
Original comment: Maybe I’m just confused, but doesn’t Hamas themselves use the same terminology?
I’m not saying Hamas is not holding hostages, I’m saying a lot of Israeli prisoners are hostages.

Which ones are the 150 women and children to be released from Israeli jail?
It’s the set Hamas proposed, 33 are women, the rest are mostly now 16-18 year old dudes.
