Israel and Hamas have reportedly agreed to a peace deal that will see all of the remaining living hostages freed, and Israeli troops withdrawing from most of Gaza.

Local American-Islamic community leaders are also reacting with hope that it sticks, including Dawud Walid, Exec. Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Michigan.

Walid spoke Thursday with WWJ Newsradio 950's Luke Sloan.
