West Bank Palestinians celebrate Gaza ceasefire as some show support for Hamas
Palestinians in the West Bank march through the streets in a celebration of an imminent ceasefire-hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas, announced earlier this evening.
Some chant “Hamas!” in support of the terror group that sparked the 15-month-long war with Israel, while others call out the name of Yahya Sinwar, the former leader of Hamas and architect of the October 7 onslaught.
Calls of “God is great!” ring out as well.
Traffic in some areas of Ramallah is stopped as a result, and Palestinian Authority security is stationed nearby.
