UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, urging all sides to fully comply. 🤝🕊️
“I urge all concerned to abide fully by the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released in a dignified manner. A permanent ceasefire must be secured. The fighting must stop once & for all. Immediate and unimpeded entry of humanitarian supplies and essential commercial materials into Gaza must be ensured. The suffering must end,” Guterres said on social media platform X.
He added that the UN will support the full implementation of the deal, scale up sustained humanitarian relief, and advance recovery and reconstruction in Gaza. This means ramping up aid convoys, clearing border crossings, and coordinating with local partners to meet urgent needs.
Looking ahead, Guterres called on stakeholders to seize this moment to chart a credible political path toward ending the occupation and recognizing the right to self-determination for the Palestinian people. The goal? A two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace and security.
