The saying “If grief could be seen, the world would be covered in black” is often attributed to Francis Weller.

For two years, Israel has been wrapped in black. Even when many hostages were freed, the shadow remained.

Now, after the release of the final 20 living hostages and as a cease-fire hardens, rays of light are emerging from that tortured and tested land — songs of joy rising once aga in from that nation.

October 13 will stand as a testament courage and endurance of the captives, the fearlessness of soldiers, the resolve of diplomats, the iron will of families, the help of true allies and the triumph of good over evil.

President Donald Trump has led the breakthrough and now leads this next phase.

There’s no question: There’s still a lot of work still to be done.

But this is a moment for gratitude — for the freed hostages, for Israel’s endurance and for the hope that Gaza’s innocents may finally live in peace.
