    The hostages are a group that’s assumed to be complete. That’s like if someone stole your tires off your car and offered to give “your tires” back to you but only 2 of the 4. People assume they offered all the tires if the headline doesn’t say otherwise.

    If you include the partial hostage release, it essentially robs the story as it’s clear why you wouldn’t do a deal for some of the hostages. Making any deal for some of the hostages is stupid.

      I think this is dumb. The title didn’t say all hostages. The article didn’t say all hostages. You invented this in your own head then decided to build an argument around it.

        I mean future articles covering it have said things like “Ceasefire for $x hostages rejected” for exactly this reason.

            “Ceasefire-for-hostages”

            Would you assume that they’re asking for a ceasefire in a percentage of the territory or the full territory?

                That’s not the truth. When you hear the title: “Netanyahu rejected ceasefire-for-hostages deal in Gaza, sources say”

                Do you assume that it’s 40% of the hostages for a ceasefire im 40% of the territory?

                    I did. That’s why I pointed out the misleading headline as a comment. Had I not read the article I would have assumed that it was a ceasefire in 100% of the territory for 100% of the Hostages that Israel turned down.

                    Just like you would have.
