Let's sew a button on this: according to a Sky News reporter, the exchange rates raise the question of whether Israel "values ​​the lives of Palestinians less".

The Israeli government spokesman's face showed shock upon hearing the question put to him.

Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy was a guest of the British news channel.

Sky News reporter Kay Burley told Levy that she had spoken to a hostage negotiator in preparation for the interview, who said the hostage deal negotiated with Hamas was "unfair" as Israel would hand over 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 50 Israeli civilians.

According to Burley, the exchange rates raise the question of whether Israel "values ​​Palestinian life less."

The Israeli government spokesman was at first puzzled for a few moments before the question, then called the accusation shocking and rejected it.

"If we could make it possible to release one prisoner for every hostage, obviously we would..."

Levy explained, adding that the Palestinian prisoners scheduled to be released have blood on their hands.

"We're talking about people who have been convicted of stabbing and shooting attacks"

the spokesperson drew attention to it.

“It is outrageous to suggest that the fact that we are willing to release more prisoners convicted of terrorist offenses than we rehabilitate innocent children somehow suggests that we value Palestinian life less. This is a disgusting accusation"

he added.

Gary Mond, president of the National Jewish Assembly, told the Jerusalem Post: “Like most people, I think this is an insidious comparison. To group completely innocent hostages kidnapped by Hamas with those guilty of stabbing, attempted murder, and other heinous crimes is disgusting.

The very fact that a journalist can make such a comparison shows how deep anti-Israel bias has sunk.”
