Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “We welcome the announcement of Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict proposed by the U.S. President Donald J. Trump. A sustainable and just peace requires sincere commitment, mutual trust, and respect for international law. The exchange of prisoners and hostages, and addressing humanitarian needs of the population are vital to pave the way for long-term stabilization and political settlement through building confidence and easing tensions. Only through dialogue and goodwill a long-lasting settlement, with the two-state solution at its core, can be achieved.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: “Canada welcomes President Trump’s historic new Middle East peace plan, and we urge all parties to help it realise its full potential. As the critical next step, Hamas must immediately release all hostages. Canada stands ready to support the sustained, unimpeded, and large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid into and throughout Gaza. We will continue our close coordination with international partners to build a just and lasting peace that builds on today’s progress, with a sovereign, democratic, and viable State of Palestine building its future in peace and security with the State of Israel.”

European Council President Antonio Costa: “I welcome President @realDonaldTrump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and I am encouraged by Prime Minister @netanyahu’s positive response. All parties must seize this moment to give peace a genuine chance. The situation in Gaza is intolerable. Hostilities must end, and all hostages must be released immediately. The Israeli and Palestinian people deserve to live side by side, in peace and security, free from violence and terrorism. A two-state solution remains the only viable path to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
French President Emmanuel Macron: “I welcome President @realDonaldTrump’s commitment to ending the war in Gaza and securing the release of all hostages. I expect Israel to engage resolutely on this basis. Hamas has no choice but to immediately release all hostages and follow this plan. These elements must pave the way for in-depth discussions with all relevant partners to build a lasting peace in the region, based on the two-state solution and on the principles endorsed by 142 UN member states, at the initiative of France and Saudi Arabia. France stands ready to contribute. It will remain vigilant regarding the commitments of each party.”
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul: “The US peace plan for Gaza offers a unique opportunity to end the terrible war in Gaza. It gives hope to hundreds of thousands of people suffering in Gaza under fierce fighting, appalling captivity as hostages or unimaginable humanitarian conditions. Finally there is hope for Israelis and Palestinians that this war could soon be over. This opportunity must not be missed. Hamas must seize it. I urgently call on all those who can influence Hamas to do so now. I am grateful to US President Donald Trump and his Administration for his intense efforts to end the war. The fact that President Trump is willing to head and chair the Board of Peace shows how serious he is. I would like to thank the Arab states in the region and other Muslim countries that are taking on responsibility and want to facilitate peace in Gaza by providing resources and concrete support.”
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “We welcome President Donald J. Trump’s announcement of a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict.

The Plan, which Italy welcomes, presents an ambitious project for the stabilisation, reconstruction and development of the Gaza Strip, with the full involvement of regional partners. In this context, Italy is ready to do its part, in close coordination with the United States and European and regional partners, and it thanks President Trump for the mediation work and his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.”

That would show global leadership.’ New Zealand therefore welcomes the United States’ ‘Comprehensive Plan to End the Conflict in Gaza’ as an example of such global leadership.

I am also convinced that durable peace between the Palestinian people and Israel would be essential in bringing political stability and economic growth to the region. It is also my firm belief that President Trump is fully prepared to assist in whatever way necessary to make this extremely important and urgent understanding to become a reality. I laud President Trump’s leadership and the vital role played by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in bringing an end to this war. I also strongly believe that the implementation of the two state proposal is essential to ensure lasting peace in the region.”
Palestinian Authority: The Palestinian Authority “welcomes the sincere and determined 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. It also underscores the importance of the partnership with the United States in achieving peace in the region.”

This is our top priority and should happen immediately. We call on all sides to come together and to work with the US administration to finalise this agreement and bring it into reality. Hamas should now agree to the plan and end the misery, by laying down their arms and releasing all remaining hostages. Together with our partners, we will continue work to build consensus to put into place a permanent ceasefire. We are all committed to a collective effort to end the war in Gaza and deliver a sustainable peace, where Palestinians and Israelis can live side by side in safety and security.”
