Well the US is interpretting international law quite liberally so to speak. So lets see what the Geneve convention says about this problem with a Russian Ukrainian example instead of Israel Palestine just to make it universal. So lets say Putin captures Kiyiv, and he sends there 1 million settlers. Lets say Ukrainians recapture Kiyiv. Waht should they do with the settlers who occupied Ukrainian flats, which their original occupants most likely want back? To disencourage such tricks in combat, sending settlers into an occupied zone qualifies as a warcrime. The settlers themselves are not considered as civilians, but comabattants, who could be detained into POW camps according to the general rules of warfare. Settlers posessions can be seized, and themselves can be deported at any convenient time without any reprecussion. So so called Israeli civilian hostages are neither civilians, nor hostages, but by legal definition prisoners of war, since they were caught in an official warzone, in a territory, which noone recognizes as part of Israel, who could be detained until an agreement is made on them, or the conflict officially terminates.
