A cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas has been met with global praise, with leaders expressing relief and hope for the future. The agreement, announced by President Biden, will involve two phases, including a full cease-fire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of hostages. The deal has been hailed as a positive step towards ending the conflict, but some remain cautious about its long-term success.
Leaders in the U.S. and around the world commended the recent Israel - Hamas cease-fire deal on Wednesday. Biden announced the terms of the cease-fire during a news conference Wednesday at the White House. It will consist of two phases and will take place over the next several weeks.
The response to the deal was overwhelmingly positive. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that she was 'very encouraged' to see the cease-fire come to fruition. 'This is something I've called for many, many months over the last year since the horrific, barbaric attack on innocent civilians in Israel that occurred on October 7 of last year,' Hochul said. 'My main priority has been bringing home the hostages.' Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y.
