Palestinians are equally celebrating the cease-fire deal in Gaza.
“This is a deal with the devil,” Ronen Neutra mentioned. “These people, terrorists, killed 1,200 people in one day — the worst day in Israeli history since the Holocaust, and they killed, at that moment, 45 Americans, so of course, it’s terrible to see them celebrating right now, but you know what? We celebrate because we believe in the dignity of life. They believe in the dignity of death, and we believe that every soul is important. Those are our values, and we’ll fight for them, and we’ll bring all the 98 people back with the leadership of President Trump.”
“We trust him. We know he is going to do it,” he added. “We know he’s going to push all the partners in the region, in the Middle East, to make sure that those 98 are coming back — among them, our son. We have to bring our son to a proper burial. He deserves it.”
