Protests Erupt Over Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal

Following the announcement of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, protests erupted in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, reflecting a divided public response. In Jerusalem, anti-ceasefire demonstrators, including families of fallen soldiers, expressed fears that the deal would not eliminate Hamas and could leave hostages behind. Conversely, thousands in Tel Aviv celebrated the agreement, which aims to facilitate the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Supporters of the ceasefire emphasize the need for a peaceful resolution, while critics warn it might lead to further concessions to Hamas. In the U.S., groups in Chicago rejoiced over the deal, with hopes for the release of hostages and a potential end to the conflict. The situation remains complex, with various factions holding differing views on the implications of the ceasefire.
