We asked Bonnie Burdman of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation and Dr. Suhad Hadi of the Arab American Community Center to react to the details of it.

"It is allowing for the release of some of the youngest and oldest hostages, it is going to provide an opportunity for some additional humanitarian aid to come into Gaza," said Burdman. 

"It's just the period of time to give people time to run or evacuate to nowhere, to have them continue to wait out the next round of bombings," added Hadi.

Both agree that all hostages should be freed, and say while the agreement is essentially is a band-aid, their visions of the long-term solution are a bit different.

Hadi says there must be a permanent ceasefire and for the US to step its negotiating.
Burdman says she wants to see all hostages freed and an unconditional surrender of Hamas.

"At the end of the day the world still needs to remember that Hamas has committed war crimes and they are the chief impediment to lasting peace in the region," Burdman said. 

"I want people to understand that we cannot keep engaging in unilateral negotiations," said Hadi. "We have to realize that when something's happened to Israel, it's probably happened to the Palestinians tenfold, if not more."

Two visions of the same outcome with no way of knowing which will ultimately come to pass.
