After 15 months of war, a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip took effect Sunday morning, paving the way for a dramatic day that saw Hamas free the first of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for Israel releasing 90 Palestinian prisoners, all of them women and children.

After the election, a reader asked, “What do we do now? Where is our safe place?” I didn’t know the answer until I was asked.

We are the safe space. You and I, and all the Americans who share our commitment to what is right and good—we will find the hope.
