## Transcript

I welcome the announcement last night of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by President Donald J. Trump and I commend the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey in brokering this desperately needed breakthrough. I urge all parties to fully abide by the terms of the agreement, and to fully embrace the opportunities it presents. All hostages must be released in a dignified manner. A permanent ceasefire must be secured. The bloodshed must stop once and for all, and the United Nations will provide its full support.

We and our partners are prepared to move now. We have the expertise, the distribution networks, the community, relationships in place to act. Supplies are in place and our teams are on standby. We can scale up food, water, medical and shelter After assistance at once. For Israelis and Palestinians alike, this deal offers a glimmer of relief, and that glimmer must become the dawn of peace. The beginning of the end of this devastating war. I urge all to seize this momentous opportunity to establish a credible political path forward, a path towards ending the occupation, recognizing the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people and achieving a two state solution, a path to a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and to wider peace and security in the Middle East.

This breakthrough shows us the power and potential of diplomacy. Let it be a reminder that the solutions to conflicts are not found on the battlefield. They must be forged at the negotiating table. And then, crucially, they must be fully implemented. The world is watching.
