Bakersfield Residents Hopeful About Middle East Ceasefire Deal
A ceasefire deal in the Middle East has brought hope to communities worldwide, including residents in Bakersfield who are cautiously optimistic about the prospect of ending the war in Gaza.
Residents of Bakersfield, including those from Shafter, Wasco, and Lost Hills, are watching the developments with interest.
"I went to bed all too late last night watching the footage of Israelis hugging their sons and people, two twins, the Berman brothers, reunited after all these months, all these years apart, both being held hostage, just miraculous that we're out of that state of affairs,"
said Rabbi Jonathon Klein of Temple Beth El in northeast Bakersfield, who stayed up late Sunday night watching television coverage of families being reunited after months of separation.
