International leaders express support amid hopes for an end to the conflict
Washington — U.S. President Donald J. Trump has unveiled a comprehensive peace plan aimed at resolving the long-standing conflict in Gaza. The plan has received widespread attention and praise from leaders across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and beyond, who see it as a potential breakthrough after years of devastating war.
The proposal calls for an immediate end to hostilities, the release of all hostages, sustained humanitarian aid, and the transformation of Gaza into a stable and prosperous region. Notably, foreign ministers from Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt issued a joint statement welcoming Trump’s leadership and emphasizing the importance of U.S. partnership in achieving peace.
These countries specifically praised Trump’s commitment to preventing the annexation of the West Bank, rebuilding Gaza, and protecting the rights of the Palestinian people. They expressed readiness to engage constructively in finalizing and implementing the agreement to ensure peace, security, and stability in the region.
Other nations including Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom also welcomed the initiative as a historic opportunity, calling on all parties to cease violence and release hostages immediately. The international community largely views this plan as a rare chance to break the cycle of conflict and suffering.
However, the proposal is not without skepticism. Regional observers stress that lasting peace requires mutual recognition, respect for legitimate rights, and sincere dialogue. The role of local actors, particularly groups like Hamas, remains crucial for the success or failure of the plan.
The Palestinian Authority has expressed support and hope for a swift resolution, while Israel has shown cautious optimism but has yet to fully endorse the plan.
President Trump also announced he will personally chair a Peace Board to oversee the process and facilitate lasting stability in the region.
In the midst of a complex geopolitical landscape, this plan—backed by a broad international consensus—could represent a vital step towards peace, provided all parties commit to setting aside differences in favor of a shared future.
Background:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains one of the most entrenched and violent disputes globally. Years of fighting and humanitarian crisis in Gaza have underscored the urgent need for a sustainable solution. Many experts see President Trump’s plan as a new pathway, yet the deep divisions present significant challenges.
