Reflections on the Ceasefire
I Have Hope for This Ceasefire, But It Can’t Undo Two Years of Genocide
President Donald Trump described the ceasefire deal as "a wonderful day for everybody."
"This is a great day for the world... This is a wonderful day, a wonderful day for everybody."
Author's take: A ceasefire brings hope, but can't erase two years of suffering.
- The author, Sara Awad, a freelance writer and English literature student, expresses her skepticism about the latest ceasefire negotiations.
- She recounts the countless times she had put her hopes into the idea that politicians would stop the massacre of her people, only to be disappointed.
- The ceasefire announcement was made on October 9, 2025, bringing a sense of quiet and hope for the author and her family, who have been living in a tent since being driven from their home in Gaza City.
