At the end of the video, the woman thanks her viewers and followers for their support during the scary and difficult time they went through. The video has resonated with millions of people around the world who have been following the conflict and hoping for peace.

The ceasefire came after President Donald Trump worked with mediators from Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas. The agreement saw the release of the last Israeli hostages from Gaza, and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees in return. Trump declared the end of the two-year war, saying the "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was finally over.
