Questions still linger about the broader ceasefire agreement proposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, especially regarding Hamas’ disarmament and the future governance of Gaza.

The two parties are seemingly closer than ever to ending the war, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, devastated Gaza, caused famine, and left numerous hostages in limbo.

Even with many details yet to be agreed, many expressed relief at the progress.

From Wednesday night into Thursday, jubilant families and supporters of the hostages filled Tel Aviv’s central square, a key location for their campaign. They celebrated by singing, dancing, and waving both Israeli and American flags.

Einav Zangauker, the mother of Israeli captive Matan Zangauker, told reporters that she wants to tell her son she loves him.

“If I have one dream, it is seeing Matan sleep in his own bed,” she said.

From the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah, Alaa Abd Rabbo called the announcement “a godsend.”

“This is the day we have been waiting for,” said Abd Rabbo, who originally hails from northern Gaza but has been displaced several times due to the conflict.

This marks the third ceasefire since the war began, with previous ones also involving exchanges of hostages and prisoners. Israel concluded the most recent ceasefire, which began in January, by launching a surprise attack in March.
