The Southeast Asian bloc ASEAN welcomes the Gaza ceasefire and calls for “the release of all hostages and detainees, some of whom are nationals of ASEAN Member States.”

“We also call for a full, safe, rapid, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians, including through the
