FEATURING RAMZY BAROUD - Palestinians and their allies around the world are celebrating a ceasefire deal with Israel, brokered 15 months into a brutal genocide. The first part of the agreement is already being enacted, with Palestinian prisoners being exchanged for Israeli hostages. Israel is expected to pull out of all areas in Gaza, allowing survivors of the genocide to return to the rubble of their homes. 

The ceasefire was one of U.S. President Joe Biden’s last acts in office and critics point out he could have pushed for such a deal a year ago but refused to act allowing Israel to slaughter tens of thousands of Palestinians. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is claiming credit for the deal, fueling Arab American anger with Biden. A new poll suggests, Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump in the November 2024 election because of the Biden Administration’s stubbornly pro-genocide position.
