The most common reaction to the ceasefire in Gaza, among both Palestinians and Israelis, has been one of relief rather than joy. This is understandable considering the suffering and trauma that this longest and deadliest round of hostilities between the two has caused. When all is said and done, no one has come out of this war better off, and the result is yet another generation lost to bloodshed, fear, and hatred, along with profound doubts that a better future is around the corner.
