On Thursday, a potentially historic agreement between Israel and Hamas began to take shape. The deal, brokered by President Trump, secures the exchange of all Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners. We ended the war in Gaza and really, on a much bigger basis, created peace. And I think it's going to be a lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace.

There is skepticism about the sincerity of the peace deal, with concerns that it may be a strategy for Netanyahu to continue military operations under the guise of failed negotiations.

Eli Sharabi is optimistic about a potential peace deal, believing it is necessary for healing and bringing hostages home.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has led to celebrations in Gaza, with Palestinians cheering and chanting. After two years of war, an influx of aid and relief is expected to reach residents, bringing hope that this marks the end of death and destruction.

The Palestinians claim nearly 70,000 deaths, but those numbers aren't credible. However, tens of thousands have died, and their relief at the conflict ending is palpable.

The war is nearing its end, but it is not over yet. Israel was attacked on October 7th, two years ago, and has since made significant progress against the Iran axis and its proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.

The moral clarity in understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been lost by some. The Israelis showed tremendous restraint in warfare, despite the sadism of Hamas terrorists.

Carmit Palti Katir shares the painful experience of telling her mother, Hannah Katir, about the deaths of her father and brother after her release from captivity. The lack of closure due to not being able to say goodbye to her brother and father contrasts with the opportunity to do so with her mother.

The Israeli cabinet has approved an agreement to stop the war in Gaza. This agreement includes Israel pulling back to a predefined border and the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead hostages within 72 hours of a ceasefire. Hamas claims this is the end of the war, but the United States says it could be if Hamas disarms and hands over governance.

The end of the war leaves critics of Israel without the narrative of Jewish power and control, forcing them to shift focus to other aspects of perceived Jewish influence.
