#AlJazeera Conditions of Palestinian detainees downplayed in global arena

“What strikes me is the way in the international arena that the focus is so much on the Israeli hostages, which is understandable, but there’s absolutely no coverage of these Palestinian prisoners and detainees, the condition in which they are released. Where were they held? The torture, even the accusations of sexual abuse, this is all very much downplayed,” Doyle told Al Jazeera.

“But of course, for Palestinians, it’s extremely real, very raw, and it just shows so much how the coverage and the political debate in the United States and Europe and in other countries, has gone that there is always this focus on what happens to Israelis and less so as to what happens to Palestinians.”

Doyle added that Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan omits plans for accountability.

“There needs to be a mechanism to actually determine who is responsible for all of this, and that is completely absent in that 20-point plan deal, deliberately absent. There is no question the United States or Israel is going to want to allow any such judicial mechanism,” he said.
