The cease fire in Gaza is holding so far, after the first phases of a 20 point peace plan between the Palestinian enclaves and Israel begins.
Hamas released 20 prisoners who were still alive, while Israel released 2,000 Palestinians. Aid has flooded into the area, and hundreds of thousands of people are returning to bombed-out neigborhoods.
President Trump went to the area to address the Israeli congress and other groups.
EDITED TO ADD: Within 24 hours of the cease fire, the Israeli military murdered at least 3 Palestinians in Gaza. This is not the first cease fire: Another cease fire in March was broken when Israel bombed Palestine. President Trump is pretending that this ceasefire is somehow different. And maybe it is. But with Israel's army still murdering people in Gaza, it's not looking promising.
EDITED OCTOBER 18: Israel has killed 28 Palestinian civilians since the so-called "cease fire" began.
