There are far more Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, often for long periods without trial, many were children when they were imprisoned.

The balance has always been in Israel's favour, though it isn't just about numbers.

Can anyone explain why the huge discrepancy in numbers? The current ceasefire has been in place since January 19 - and has seen 13 Israeli and five Thai hostages exchanged for 583 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

I don’t understand it.
