In a move raising hopes for regional calm, Israel has agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Gaza proposed by the U.S., coinciding with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Jewish Passover. The breakthrough announcement came late Saturday from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, marking a potential pause in months-long tensions.
The ceasefire window aligns with Ramadan (March 10–April 9) and Passover (April 22–30), offering a rare moment for humanitarian relief and dialogue. While details remain scarce, U.S. officials called it a "first step toward stability," urging all parties to avoid escalation.
Ramadan—observed with fasting and family gatherings—and Passover, celebrating freedom, add symbolic weight to the truce. Analysts suggest the overlap could foster local support, though militant groups in Gaza have yet to formally respond.
Global leaders welcomed the news, with the UN urging extensions beyond the holiday period. Could this spark broader peace talks? Stay tuned as we track developments.
