UN Secretary-General António Guterres welcomes the announcement of an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, based on a proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump. He also commends the diplomatic efforts of the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey that led to this "much-needed breakthrough."
This was stated in a statement released by the UN press service on Wednesday evening. "I urge all parties to fully comply with the terms of the agreement," the UN chief emphasized. "All hostages must be released with respect for their dignity. A permanent ceasefire must be ensured. The violence must end once and for all."
Human suffering must end.
He also called for immediate, unimpeded access for humanitarian aid and essential commercial goods to Gaza. "The suffering of the people must end," Guterres said.
According to him, the United Nations will assist in the full implementation of the agreement, increase the supply of necessary humanitarian aid and facilitate the restoration and reconstruction of Gaza.
The stakes have never been higher
The Secretary-General called on all parties to seize this "historic opportunity" to forge a credible path toward ending the occupation, recognizing the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, and achieving a two-state solution that would allow Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. "The stakes have never been higher," Guterres concluded his statement.
