Thank goodness for that. The same deal that was refused a year ago, and far more bloodshed in the meantime, but better late than never.

Forgive me for not jumping for joy. Only 33 of the hostages are being released in the first phase. My heart goes out to all their families waiting for so long to know if their loved ones are alive or dead and in what state they are in. There is a long way to go (6 weeks apparently) and the war can resume at any time aka as soon as Hamas rockets fly over Israel. For the sake of Israelis and Palestinians I hope the ceasefire does hold 🙏

Just came here to post the same thing.

Great news!!

Actually, feeling a little tearful, so glad it's over, for now at least, and hoping that people on both sides can rebuild their lives and work towards a future where all can thrive.
