While the headline focuses on '199 Israeli hostages’ in Gaza, the featured image reveals another reality: a Palestinian man devastated after an Israeli airstrike destroys his home (original photo available on Getty Images).
The report neglects crucial context: since 2007, Gaza's 2.3 million residents have endured a blockade, essentially living in an open-air prison. It's not about those 199; it's about millions effectively held hostage.
