“We welcome President Trump’s announcement that Israel and Hamas have apparently agreed to the first phase of a peace plan in Gaza. This development represents a hopeful step toward resolving the conflict, securing the release of all hostages, and establishing the conditions for lasting peace and security in the region. We commend all those working tirelessly to turn this moment of promise into a reality and urge all parties to continue engaging in good faith to bring this conflict to a quick close. This moment demands unity, resolve, and the moral clarity to ensure that peace and security endure and every hostage returns home.”
