Hostage, prisoner or detainee? In the latest Israel-Hamas exchange, it’s not always clear

Bushra Al Taheel relaxes at home in Ramallah in the Occupied West Bank after being held in an Israeli prison for over 10 months.

Earlier this week, Palestinian activist Bushra Al-Tahil was released from an Israeli prison in exchange for hostages held by Hamas. Although Al-Tahil was held for more than 10 months, she was never charged with a crime.
