Excellent discussion with the head of ICRC, Julien Lerrison, on the decisive role of his organisation in facilitating the release of hostages. @ICRC remains a key actor.

As part of my regional trip, I met in Jerusalem with @WFP 's Palestine Director, Antoine Renard. Together, we discussed the urgent need for humanitarian assistance. The ceasefire provides an opportunity to allow aid to flow massively into the Strip.

Immense joy and relief are shared with the families who will be reunited with their loved ones. I am in Sharm el-Sheikh accompanying António Costa @eucopresident , President of the European Council, to attend the signing of the Trump Plan. We now have a common framework on

In Ramallah, I met with Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa @PalestinePMO to discuss the implementation of President Trump plan and EU contribution. The EU took this opportunity to reaffirm its constant support for the PA and its ongoing reforms.

Today marks a rare moment of hope in the Middle East. The release of hostages is a major success for diplomacy and a crucial milestone toward peace. President Trump made this breakthrough possible. Securing peace in Gaza will be extraordinarily complex. (1/2)

The end of the war is now a reality. Yesterday, I joined @kajakallas at the high level meeting hosted by @EmmanuelMacron on the implementation of the Trump plan. The goal: to coordinate international efforts to ensure the stability of the ceasefire and its implementation.

The first phase of the Gaza deal is a major step towards peace. We now need to plan for the day after. The EU stands ready to do its part, by redeploying our EUBAM Rafah mission and discussing what can be done with EUPOL COPPS mandate. Doorstep at Paris meeting on Gaza peace ↓

We also discussed ways to strengthen cooperation and ensure the success of the collective efforts of international partners to achieve peace in the region. (2/2)

Productive discussion with Faisal Bin Abdullah Al Hanzab, Qatar's Special Envoy. We exchanged views on the recent developments and I commended Qatar's constructive role in reaching this historic agreement. (1/2)

Now we have the right to hope for a better future - for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region. The European Union stands ready to help. (3/3)

I commend the diplomatic efforts of the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. Building on the Trump plan, this moment offers a genuine opportunity to move forward and face with optimism the challenges ahead. (2/3)

Great news - this marks an unprecedented moment, alleviating the pain of the families of hostages, Israelis and Palestinians alike. The release of all hostages and the end of the war brings immense relief after two years of nightmares. (1/3)

The agreement on the first phase of the Gaza peace deal marks a significant breakthrough. This is a major diplomatic accomplishment and a real chance to end a devastating war and release all the hostages. The EU will do what it can to support its implementation.

The prospect of a ceasefire and the release of all hostages is closer than ever. We must seize this moment to end the suffering and open a path toward peace. (2/2)

October 7 will forever be etched in our memories. It is a day when innocent lives were brutally taken by Hamas. We commemorate this tragedy, remembering those who are no longer with us. We will never forget. Today, our thoughts are with the families of hostages. (1/2)

We will never forget the horror of the Hamas attacks on 7 October and the pain they caused to innocent victims, their families and the entire people of Israel, two years ago. We honour their memory by working tirelessly for peace. The immediate release of all hostages and a

A very timely visit in Washington for @EUSR_MEPP Christophe Bigot this week. Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza is an opportunity for peace. The EU is ready to help.

A day at the Capitol to discuss current efforts to end the war and EU-US cooperation. Glad to meet with Senators, members of the Congress and staffers @SenAdamSchiff, @SenPeterWelch, @ChrisVanHollen, @DWStweets @RepWesleyBellMO, @DonaldNorcross.

Useful meeting at the Withe House. I underlined that the EU stands ready to play a constructive role in the “day after” and can contribute meaningfully to several elements of the Trump Plan.

Great discussion with @AIPAC on Trump plan, post war measures for Gaza and shared 🇺🇸/🇪🇺strong ties with Israel.
