I think some people think there are Zionists and "Zionists"…

Israel and Hamas are close to a hostage deal that would free most of the Israeli women and children who were kidnapped Oct. 7, according to a high-ranking Israeli official. The agreement could be announced within days if final details are resolved, he said.

“The general outline of the deal is understood,” the Israeli official explained in an interview Monday, requesting anonymity to discuss the sensitive subject.

The tentative agreement calls for Israeli women and children to be released in groups, simultaneously with Palestinian women and young people held in Israeli prisons.

Israel wants the release of all 100 women and children taken from Israel, but the initial number is likely to be smaller. Hamas has indicated it is ready to release 70 women and children, according to a statement by one of its officials on the group’s Telegram channel cited by Reuters on Monday. The number of Palestinian women and young people who might be released is unclear, but an Arab official told me last week that there were at least 120 in prison.

A temporary cease-fire of perhaps five days would accompany the exchange of hostages and prisoners, the Israeli official said. This truce would allow safe travel for the Israeli captives. It could also permit more international assistance to Palestinian civilians in Gaza and should ease the humanitarian crisis there, the Israeli official explained.

Why is there 120 women and young people being held in Israeli prisons, what crimes did they commit other than being Palestinian?

Loosely related to someone that might have voted for Hamas in 2006 (but probably voted for someone else).

How do you expect anyone on this forum to know? From your phrasing, it looks like you've pre-judged the matter. Bias?

There's a lot of people on this forum that seem to know what they're talking about so I thought it safe to assume they knew about the 2 Palestinian women held under administrative orders which basically means indefinite detention without charge or the 14 year old girl arrested on the way home from school for the crime of flying a Palestinian flag or the physical and psychological torture these women are put through including isolation, sleep deprivation, threats, extortion and severe beatings, the families of these women are also threatened with arrest too. Why don't you educate yourself with these womens stories through The Palestinian Prisoners club then you'd know or let me guess they're making it up or you know Israel has to right to defend itself against school girls with flags

It was the same in Northern Ireland, where flying a flag likely to cause public disorder was an arrestable offence. I see a clear parallel with the case you have cited.

This is 2023 and children are not arrested for it nor were they ever arrested for it, in Northern Ireland.

I wonder what would happen to a 14yr old Israeli girl flying an Israeli flag in downtown Gaza?
