Gaza Ceasefire “Great News”, Says Foreign Minister

The hostage and ceasefire agreement in Gaza is very good news, as it will bring the prospect of a peaceful life for the people of a war-torn region of the world closer, and will have a very positive impact on global security, wrote the Foreign Minister on his social media account.

“We express our respect and appreciation to the American, Egyptian and Qatari diplomats who have been involved in the mediation. The fact that dozens of hostages have been living separated from their families for more than 15 months is unacceptable, and we call on all parties to the agreement to implement all stages of the agreement in full. This will finally pave the way for the return to their families of the hostages of Hungarian nationality who are still in captivity”, Péter Szijjártó concluded his message.

Representatives of the Palestinian terror group Hamas and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire deal on Wednesday, raising the hopes for the end to the brutal war in Gaza, and a closure to the 15 month ordeal for Israeli hostages. The deal was mediated by Qatar, but it is yet to be officially accepted by Israel, a decision expected on Thursday. The deal was announced on Wednesday by Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani in the Qatari capital, Doha.
