Cheers and hope in Berlin: Fire break celebrated in the Gaza conflict!

After the historical agreement on a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which is due to come into force on Sunday, hundreds of people celebrated in Berlin-Neukölln. The meeting around Hermannplatz began with around 100 participants that swiveled Palestine flags and grew up to 300 people. According to bz-berlin.de, the event was peaceful and was described as a "cheering character". The agreement, which also includes the release of hostages, could be a turn in the continued conflict.

President Joe Biden was enthusiastic about the agreement and explained that this would enable urgently needed humanitarian aid for the civilian population in Gaza. The outgoing President Donald Trump also claimed a role in this process and praised the deal as the result of his political heritage. "This deal will stop the fights in the Gaza Strip," said Biden. The hope of peace was also confirmed by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who emphasized the need for a consistent implementation of the agreement, as zdf.de. In view of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, it is urgently pointed out worldwide.

The agreement follows the dramatic escalation of the conflict, which began on October 7, 2023 when the Hamas attacked Israel and took over 250 hostages. These developments have increased international pressure on everyone involved to find solutions and to bring about peaceful agreement. While celebrations are celebrated in Berlin, the events in the Gaza Strip show a completely different side: thousands cheered in Gaza when the news of the ceasefire was spread, dance and hug on the streets to celebrate this course in conflict.
