Israel-Hamas War

Dr. Dia'a Daoud, an emergency physician from the Orlando area, embarked on an aid mission to Gaza, where he was detained by Israeli Defense Forces.

The car rally in Broward County took place as leaders were about to sign this week's peace agreement to bring the Israel-Hamas war to a halt. But organizers fear the deal won't hold, and want to continue the pressure for aid to be restores to Gaza.

Jewish organizations across South Florida are praising the release this Monday of 20 Israeli hostages previously held captive by the terrorist group Hamas.

World leaders from more than 20 nations gathered in Egypt to formally sign the agreement, which Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called "the birth of a glimmer of hope" for the region.

The protest immediately followed the brokerage of another ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants — and potentially an end to the two-year-old conflict.

U.S. Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, R-Miami, and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, said they remain "hopeful that ongoing negotiations will result in an agreement that frees the remaining hostages, living and deceased, and ends the Hamas terror threat."

The Mayor deferred a new resolution to encourage O Cinema "to showcase films that highlight a fair and balanced viewpoint."

Gannett, the largest newspaper company in the United States and the owner of The Palm Beach Post, fired Editorial Page Editor Tony Doris last month after he decided to publish a cartoon about the war in the Gaza Strip.
