COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Both Jewish and Muslim leaders in central Ohio are applauding the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine, saying it is long overdue.
Organizers with JewishColumbus and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said that this is something they’ve wanted since Oct. 7, 2023, but they want to be clear that they’re still awaiting real results.
“Until the hostages are actually returned, it's not over,” Julie Tilson Stanley, the CEO of JewishColumbus, said.
