Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas welcomes the reaching of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. In a statement, he says that “the president expresses hope that these efforts will serve as a prelude to achieving a sustainable political solution that will end the Israeli occupation and lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders.”
He thanks US President Donald Trump and all the mediators, offering his help to ensure the success of the agreement. He emphasizes the importance of all parties committing quickly to signing off on the agreement and releasing all hostages and prisoners.
