BRUSSELS: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday that she welcomed US President Donald Trump’s peace proposal to end the nearly two-year-old war in Gaza. “Welcome President @realDonaldTrump’s commitment to end the war in Gaza. Encourage all parties to now seize this opportunity. The EU stands ready to contribute,” she wrote on X. “Hostilities should end with provision of immediate humanitarian relief to the population in Gaza and with all hostages released immediately,” she added.

The Palestinian Authority joins regional leaders in welcoming US president’s 20-point peace plan to end war in Gaza.

After being welcomed by Arab, Islamic and European leaders, experts say the onus rests on Hamas now to accept the peace plan
