MADISON (WKOW) — People around the world, including in Wisconsin, are feeling the effects of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

27 News spoke with both Jewish and pro-Palestinian groups in Madison to gauge their hopes for the future of the deal and the Middle East. While both groups expressed relief, they said they are confronted with the reality of recovery.

Greg Steinberger, president and CEO of Hillel at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said this is a historic moment.

"The hard work will now begin," Steinberger said. "But to witness these images of all of these world leaders coming together to discuss and work on and overcome the thorny, challenging issues of the next moment is amazing, it's very hopeful."
