The young bespectacled journalism graduate is a conservative Muslim.
In the living room, on the wall is a picture of his father, Jamal al-Tawil, a prominent Hamas politician in the occupied West Bank.
He is the former mayor of the village of al-Bireh, outside Ramallah. He has spent more than 19 years in Israeli prisons.
I asked Bushra if he supports Hamas.
“I don’t want to be arrested again,” he said, refusing to answer.
I also asked if she had any sympathy for the three Israeli hostages, young women like her, who were freed from more than a year of Hamas captivity in Gaza on Sunday.
“We have to go home, and they have to go home,” he said.
“The hostages meant me to leave. As long as there are hostages, prisoners like me will get their freedom.”
