Brussels, Oct. 9 (LaPresse) – “I welcome the announcement of an agreement to ensure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza, based on the proposal presented by President Donald Trump. I praise the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey in achieving this breakthrough. I am also encouraged by the support of the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority,” wrote European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on social media.
“Now, all parties must fully respect the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released safely. A permanent ceasefire must be established. The suffering must end,” she continued. “The EU will continue to support the rapid and safe delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. And when the time comes, we will be ready to help with recovery and reconstruction. Today’s opportunity must be seized. It is the opportunity to forge a credible political path toward lasting peace and security—a path firmly anchored in the two-State solution.”
