Global Reaction to Gaza Peace Deal
Description
Leaders around the world have welcomed the ceasefire agreement. News of the deal was greeted with huge outbursts of joy in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, where families have congregated for two years pressing for the release of Hamas captives. The overwhelming reaction in Gaza has been one of relief. Since the deadly October 7th attacks on Israel by Hamas, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza estimates that more than 67-thousand people have been killed by Israel's offensive with nearly a third of the dead under the age of 18. But there is also anxiety that, yet again, the ceasefire may not last. In other news, the former Radio 1 DJ, Tim Westwood, has been charged with rape and sexual assault. And the Home Office says it's "ramping up" its removal of migrants to France under a trial, one in one out scheme.
