This occurred to me while listening to the news. When they exchange people it’s always hostages for people held in Palestine and prisoners for people held in Israel. Why is that? Is it just perception or is there a practical difference?

Why not? They’re a great source unless they’re reporting on something related to Qatar’s own government / interests.
The hostage deal was negotiated by Qatar, the Hamas leadership is living in luxury in Qatar, Qatar is seeking to gain more influence in the future of Gaza.
Is this really the right moment to blindly trust the Qatar state owned news source with its reporting about a Qatar negotiated deal related to a conflict that Qatar has a vested interest in?
You’re spelling out how they’re acting like a neutral party here.
It’s a destitute open air prison. Come on now.
I don’t blindly trust their reporting. It was one search result. Most of the details on Israeli actions and policy come straight from Israeli sources like B’Tselem.
Is it not true? You could tell me that with something backing it instead of complaining about a reputable source.
Qatar is balls-deep in this conflict, my dude.
Well qatar govt funds hamas, so id say it falls within their interests.
They act as a mediator for Israel to fund Hamas.
Not saying they’ve never given any of their own money to the governing body of a destitute open air prison, but that wouldn’t be unique to them.
