‘Free Palestine’ demonstrations continue in Washington, DC, the capital of the USA. Pro-Palestinian residents living in Washington, DC, came together around the Washington Monument yesterday and protested Israel with banners reading “Palestinian children’s dreams were stolen”, “Stop the genocide in Gaza,” and “Stop killing the sick.” The demonstrators also laid motionless on the ground with blood-like painted covers on them, symbolizing numerous people who lost their lives in the war. Notes reading “Killed by Israel” were also placed on them.
Gazans Celebrate Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
