Joe Biden showered Donald Trump this praise this week after the POTUS’ involvement in the brokering of the peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
The humanitarian crisis on the Gaza Strip has been ongoing since October 2023, when Israel began a relentless bombardment in retaliation to the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel on October 7 of the same year.
Shocking reports claim that Israel have killed or injured over 10% of Gaza’s population over the subsequent 24 months. An estimated 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in the past two years, with at least 20,000 children among the dead.
Which is why the world was given cause to rejoice earlier this week when it was announced that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a ceasefire. Yesterday, all surviving hostages from both sides were released – the first giant step towards securing longterm peace.
