Yes, but also no.
Palestinians who are held without trial are held in administrative detention, that’s usually done if the person poses an immediate danger, but the evidence isn’t up to the legal standard (a judge still has to approve the arrest). It’s also used against Jewish citizens (though admittedly much less. IIRC there are two Jews held in administrative detention right now).
Absolutely none of the Palestinians held in administrative detention are about to be set free, and they aren’t regarded as “standard” prisoners (they are always referred as “administrative detainees”, never “prisoners”).

You are really using a news source owned by the qatar govt for issues related to qatar?

How about this source, the actual human rights organization that produced the report?

Seems like a good source.

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.

Well qatar govt funds hamas, so id say it falls within their interests.
NewDark@lemmings.world 11 months ago
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.

Qatar is balls-deep in this conflict, my dude.
