Israel Could EXCHANGE These Palestinian Prisoners For Hostages RIGHT NOW

Yumna Patel, a journalist based in Bethlehem, talks about Israel’s lawless imprisonment and administrative detention of Palestinians, including Palestinian children, who Israel could release right now in exchange for the civilians held by Hamas right now! Who are these prisoners? They could be anyone, Yumna explains. “They can throw you in administrative detention, so you’re not officially charged, you’re never given a trial. And you are put in jail for indefinitely for renewable periods.“ Or, Yumna says, if Israel doesn’t find who they’re looking for, “they’ll take his wife. They’ll take his kid. They’ll take his dad. They’ll just take members of their family and then threaten them and say ’If your husband doesn’t show up, then you’re going to stay in jail’.“ And who knows what happens to prisoners behind closed doors. “So far two Palestinian prisoners who had recently been arrested, including a senior Hamas official in the West bank, died in prison in Israeli custody and their families don’t know what happened to them. No one knows what happened to them. Were they tortured to death? Were they beaten to death? No one is clear on what happened.“ Yumna Patel is Mondo Weiss’s Palestine news director. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here!
