Original Note:
Israel hasn't taken any "hostages". The Palestinian prisoners have been arrested for supporting actively a terrorist organisation. You can argue if the arrests where justified by international law, but you cannot call them to the "hostages" as they haven't been kidnapped. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/world/middleeast/palestine-prisoners-release-israel-hamas-ceasefire.html
