Local leaders react to ceasefire in Gaza

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- President Joe Biden and Qatar’s prime minister announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas Wednesday, but local leaders from both sides of the conflict said more still needs to be done.

Leaders said the sounds of sorrow will continue for years to come, but a ceasefire is what they have been fighting for and it's a step in the right direction.

“After 15 really long months, you can imagine we really welcomed the news,” said Miriam Abramovich, CEO of the Buffalo Jewish Federation.
