Southeast Asian bloc ASEAN welcomes ceasefire, calls for release of ‘all hostages and detainees’

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
continuation of UNRWA’s role and mandate, and for the immediate reconstruction in Gaza,” its chair Malaysia says in a statement, additionally urging a two-state solution.
