By Following the announcement of a ceasefire agreement to end the 15-month conflict between Isr*el and H@mas, P@lestinians across the Middle East and North Africa erupted in celebration.
In cities throughout Jordan, Syria, Morocco, Lebanon, and Tunisia, thousands participated in marches and vigils, waving P@lestinian flags and chanting pro-P@lestinian slogans.
In Jerusalem, the atmosphere at Al-Aqsa Mosque was notably subdued during the Eid al-Fitr prayers, with more than 60,000 P@lestinians in attendance.
The ongoing conflict had cast a shadow over the celebrations, as many worshippers prayed for an end to the hostilities in G@za.
Despite the ceasefire announcement, uncertainty and mixed emotions prevailed among P@lestinians. In G@za, residents expressed a blend of hope and apprehension, reflecting on the immense losses suffered during the war and the challenges that lie ahead in rebuilding their lives.
While the ceasefire offers a respite from the violence, the path to lasting peace and stability remains fraught with complexities, as evidenced by the cautious optimism among P@lestinians and the ongoing discussions surrounding the ceasefire’s implementation.
