PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A week into the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, tensions are still high in the Middle East and among supporters of both Israel and Palestinians worldwide.
Closer to home, however, some presentations of pride are not as sharp-edged as they might seem on first glance.
This week on the KYW Newsradio original podcast What’s Cooking, Hadas Kuznits talks to Ali Mohammed, who’s been driving a Mister Softee ice cream truck in Fairmount for 20 years.
He proudly displays his Palestinian flag inside the windshield, and he’s become a beloved staple in the neighborhood.
Listen below to hear more about the Middle East tensions, neighborly love, and, of course, ice cream.
