2 w. ago In Gaza we watched Iranian missiles go by, heading for Israel. That war is over – it seems ours will never end | Hassan Abo Qamar

For two years, we’ve waited for a final ceasefire that has never come. Peace will be delayed as long as our lives are considered disposableLast Tuesday night, Donald Trump announced on social media that Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire, ending what he called a “12-day war”.
