Overview
France has welcomed the start of phase two of the Gaza peace plan, announced by the United States. This step aims to move the region from a ceasefire toward lasting peace.
The plan follows United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, which supports stability and political dialogue.
Humanitarian Situation
However, the second phase begins 100 days after the ceasefire. During this time, many humanitarian needs remained unmet.
As a result, France stressed the need for urgent action. Civilians in Gaza still need food, healthcare, shelter, and basic services.
Role of International Mediators
France thanked the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for their mediation efforts. Their work helped move the peace plan forward.
At the same time, France urged all parties to respect their commitments. It also called on them to avoid actions that could disrupt the process.
Governance Steps in Gaza
Meanwhile, the formation of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza marks an important step. The committee includes Palestinian technocratic figures.
France said the committee should begin work quickly. It should deploy in Gaza and focus on urgent civilian needs. In addition, the Palestinian Authority and international partners should support its efforts. France confirmed it will take part in this support.
Political Path Ahead
Furthermore, France stated that the committee’s work should lead to the disarmament of Hamas. It should also allow a reformed Palestinian Authority to return to Gaza.
Together, these steps could restore a credible political path. The goal remains a Palestinian state living in peace and security alongside Israel, in line with the New York Declaration.
France’s Continued Commitment
Finally, France reaffirmed its commitment to the peace plan. It will continue working with its partners to support the next stages and promote long term stability.
