      I mean there are 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons. And they’ve also been arresting loads of Palestinians today in Jerusalem and the West Bank, like they’re trying to make up the numbers

        There are slightly less than half of that.

        Whay do you mean by make up the number?

        Hamas askes for prisoners by name. They are not just any palestinian. They are hamas people with blood on their hands. So Israel can’t just gather a bunch of people off the street to release to hamas.
