“After years of relentless conflict and constant peril, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens have stopped, and the sun rises over a holy land finally at peace — a land and region that, God willing, will know peace for all time,” he said.
“This is not merely the end of a war… it is the beginning of a historic new era for the Middle East.” — AFP
