Former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, has reacted to the ceasefire and hostage release deal announced between Israel and Hamas.
Obama described the deal as good news and a welcome development, especially for the families of the hostages, for the Palestinian civilians who have suffered for more than a year, and for everyone who has prayed for an end to this awful chapter.
Hamas and Israel agreed to a ceasefire deal, which is supposed to pause the 15-month old war in Gaza and to broker an end to the brutal conflict.
According to the mediator Qatar, the agreement is set to be officially accepted by Israel after a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
However, Obama noted that “no deal – including this one – can ease the pain of those who have lost loved ones, or resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians,” he wrote on X.
“That work will be much harder, and take much longer. But it will put a stop to the bloodshed, allow people to return to their homes, and get much-needed aid to more than a million desperate, hungry people.
“That’s something we should all support, and I’m grateful to President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and all the leaders and diplomatic teams from around the world who have worked so hard to get this done.”
