Hope of end to ‘dark chapter’ with Israel-Hamas ceasefire
The Guardian leads with a sense of cautious relief, showcasing jubilant crowds in Gaza, with some making peace signs. One Palestinian describes it as the best day of his life, noting that his neighbourhood is filled with tears of joy. However, the paper also emphasises the exhaustion and disbelief among Palestinians, suggesting many remain doubtful the war will truly end. Celebrations in Deir al-Balah, captured in powerful images, dominate the front page.
