Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi welcomed the plan announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, regarding ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
The Secretary General considered that any international effort aimed at ending the crisis and putting a end to the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip deserves praise, engagement, and contribution.
The Council’s website quoted al-Badawi as saying ‘’a ceasefire, the direct and rapid lifting of restrictions on aid delivery, preventing the displacement of the population from the Strip and protecting them, are priorities that should be at the core of any responsible international action’’.
Albudaiwi noted that the Cooperation Council views the proposed steps positively, as they could contribute to paving a genuine and just path that guarantees the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Secretary General also underscored the Cooperation Council’s readiness to cooperate with regional and international partners to support every effort that leads to ending the crisis in the Gaza Strip
