Palestine welcomes Trump’s efforts to end the Gaza war

The Palestinian News Agency reported that the Palestinian Authority has welcomed US President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war in Gaza on Monday.

The Palestinian Authority said in a statement: “The State of Palestine welcomes the sincere and determined efforts of President Donald J. Trump to end the war on Gaza and affirms its confidence in his ability to find a path toward peace. It also underscores the importance of the partnership with the United States in achieving peace in the region.”

It renewed its joint commitment to work with the US, regional states, and various partners to end the war on Gaza.

This will be done through a comprehensive agreement that will ensure the sufficient delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the release of hostages and prisoners, the establishment of various mechanisms to protect the Palestinian people.

It must also guarantee respect for the ceasefire and security for both sides, prevent annexation of land, stop the displacement of Palestinians, end unilateral actions that violate international law, release withheld Palestinian tax revenues, and lead to Israel’s full withdrawal.

The statement added that this would also ensure the unification of Palestinian land and institutions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

It would also help end the occupation, and open the path toward a just peace based on the two-state solution, with an independent and sovereign State of Palestine living side by side with the State of Israel in security and peace in accordance with international legitimacy.

The Palestinian Authority added that it, “Reaffirms the commitments undertaken by the State of Palestine at the International Conference in New York regarding the completion of the Palestinian reform program—including holding presidential and parliamentary elections within one year after the end of the war, and ensuring that all candidates in the elections adhere to the political program, international commitments, of the PLO, international legitimacy, and the principle of one system, one law, and one legitimate Palestinian security force.”

“We have affirmed our desire for a modern, democratic, and non-militarized Palestinian state, committed to pluralism and the peaceful transfer of power,” the statement said.
