The Palestinian Authority welcomes a temporary humanitarian truce agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that will allow for the release of hostages, a senior Palestinian official says.

“President Mahmoud Abbas and the leadership welcome the humanitarian truce agreement, value the Qatari-Egyptian effort made and reaffirm the call for a comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and the entry of humanitarian aid,” senior official Hussein al-Sheikh writes on X, formerly Twitter.
