In the Gaza Strip, many Palestinians are celebrating, hoping that the devastating 15-month war is finally over.
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire proposal, according to Qatar and the United States, which would involve a captive and prisoner swap and the return of Palestinians to their homes across Gaza. Israel says a few issues remain, while Hamas has announced its acceptance.
In Gaza, the joy for Palestinians comes tempered with grief, having lived through the death of so many of their loved ones, in an Israeli war that rights groups and United Nations experts have described as a “genocide”
The families of the captives gathered in Tel Aviv shortly after the deal was announced.
Many are unsure if their loved ones are alive or dead — and fear the ceasefire could collapse before all the captives are released.
