Jerusalem Sees First War Lull Since November
Peace came to Jerusalem for the first time since last November as a truce took effect at noon. No shots were fired in the city during the initial hours of the cease, with Jews and Arabs wary of a renewed clash. Both sides held fire awaiting the other, as British officials prepared a meeting at government house to discuss the ceasefire and future steps toward stability in Palestine. The post ceasefire calm came on the eve of the Sabbath, with quiet streets and the wind’s howl punctuating the stillness.
