The Government of Maldives welcomes the agreement reached on the terms for the commencement of implementation of the first phase of US President Trump’s proposal to end the war on Gaza strip.
The agreement reached today represents a glimmer of hope for sustaining calmness and offers the people of Palestine an opportunity to begin the long process of healing, restoration of peace and an end to the untold suffering they have endured over many years. The Maldives commends the tireless efforts of the countries that worked relentlessly to make this outcome a reality. However, Israel has repeatedly violated all previous agreements reached. It must now fulfil the obligations it has undertaken under this new agreement. The Maldives further stresses that Israeli leaders indicted by the International Criminal Court must be brought to justice.
The Maldives remains steadfast in its support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self- determination, and the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its Capital.
