The Spanish Government welcomes the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which will bring an end to violence with the withdrawal of the Israeli army to the agreed line of retreat, the release of hostages and the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid to address the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip.
The Spanish Government maintains its support for the full implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement and calls on the parties to fulfil their obligations responsibly.
The Spanish Government continues to work to ensure that this agreement is the first step towards a just and lasting peace based on the implementation of the two-State solution.
