Minister's Greeting Sparks Anger: "Should Be Ashamed"
Several Israeli media outlets note that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is celebrating the return of hostages Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrechers, after opposing the agreement that paved the way for their return.
"Emily, Doron and Romi, welcome home. Our hearts go out to you, our dear sisters! The entire nation is proud of you, weeps with you and embraces you endlessly!", writes Smotrich on X.
The post has received many angry comments from users who, among other things, write that Smotrich "should be ashamed".
Smotrich has threatened to leave the Israeli government after the decision on the ceasefire and demanded that the war resume after the first phase of the agreement expires.
World leaders have much to say about the long-awaited agreement
Several world leaders are breathing a sigh of relief over the news that a ceasefire in Gaza has begun and several hostages have been released, AFP reports.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomes the release of the hostages, including British-Israeli Emily Damari, as "wonderful and long-awaited" news.
“We must not forget those who remain in captivity under Hamas,” he adds.
It is important to seize the momentum that now exists and work to ensure that an Israeli state can coexist with a Palestinian one, believes German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
– The people of Gaza have suffered enormously during the war and their future is our concern, he says.
French President Emmanuel Macron sees it as essential that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rules the Gaza Strip.
– No massacres, like the one committed on October 7, must ever be committed against the Israeli people again, says Macron.
Biden praises cooperation with Trump: “A united voice”
Outgoing US President Joe Biden welcomes the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
– After so much pain, death and loss of life, the guns in Gaza have fallen silent today, says Biden during a visit to South Carolina.
Biden also praises the cooperation between his own administration and Trump’s team on the agreement. It is now up to the US government to ensure that all parts are implemented, he continues.
“I was pleased that our teams spoke with a unified voice in the last few days. It was both necessary and effective,” Biden said.
