Ceasefire Approval and Reactions in Gaza
The Israeli National Security Cabinet recently approved a ceasefire deal for Gaza, which was reportedly influenced by President-elect Trump. This has led to feelings of relief and jubilation among Gazans after enduring 15 months of relentless bombing and destruction. However, skepticism remains regarding the permanence of this ceasefire, with concerns that Israel may resume military actions after securing hostages.
