The Palestinian presidency welcomed US President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire agreement between the two sides of the escalating conflict in the region, appreciating efforts to de-escalate the situation.
The presidency said that reaching a ceasefire is an important step towards achieving security and stability in the region through diplomacy and ending conflicts in accordance with international legitimacy and international law.
She added, "We demand the completion of this step by achieving a ceasefire that includes the Gaza Strip, to alleviate the suffering of our people and halt the killing and starvation, thus achieving comprehensive security and stability in the region, given that resolving the Palestinian issue in accordance with international legitimacy is what leads to a lasting, genuine, and stable peace."
For his part, Hussein al-Sheikh, Vice President of the State of Palestine and Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
