he State of Palestine has welcomed US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza, affirming its confidence in his ability to chart a path toward peace.
In a statement issued through the official WAFA news agency, it said it “welcomes the sincere and tireless efforts of President Donald J. Trump to end the war on Gaza, and affirms its confidence in his ability to find a path toward peace.”
The statement stressed Palestine’s readiness to work with the US, regional states and international partners toward a comprehensive agreement.
It said any deal must ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the release of captives and prisoners, mechanisms to protect civilians and uphold the ceasefire, and guarantees to prevent land annexation, forced displacement and unilateral measures that violate international law.
The Palestinian statement further called for the release of withheld tax revenues, a full Israeli withdrawal, and the unification of Palestinian land and institutions across Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
It reaffirmed the aim of “a just peace based on a two-state solution, with an independent and sovereign State of Palestine living side by side with Israel in peace and good neighborliness, in accordance with international legitimacy.”
Palestinian officials also pledged reforms, including holding presidential and parliamentary elections within a year after the war ends.
The statement said Palestine is committed to building “a modern, democratic and unarmed state that adheres to pluralism and the peaceful transfer of power.”
It also pledged to align education reforms with UNESCO standards and establish a unified social welfare system subject to international auditing.
