If Hamas released the hostages and withdrew en masse that might be a starting point for a peaceful conclusion to this war.

Israel and Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah and all other interested parties in the region would have to accept the creation of a two state solution, of course.

It's Israel that needs to withdraw en masse from occupied Palestine.

Bluntly, they are both prerequisites.

Then why not mention both?
Because (presumably) the former would enable the latter.

Conversely, it is self evident that Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would not result in the release of the hostages.
