The Department of Foreign Affairs has commended the United Nations Security Council on its adoption of a new resolution that calls for the immediate ceasefire and safe release of hostages in war-torn Gaza on Thursday, June 20.
It also extended its outright support in “alleviating the suffering of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire” through implementation of measures such as immediate ceasefire, safe release of hostages, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. “The Philippines remains committed to supporting efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza. The country stands ready to contribute to initiatives that foster stability, security, and peace in the region,” it added.
Key actions include: exchanging Palestinian prisoners, withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza’s populated zones, ensuring safe return for Palestinian civilians to their homes, and scaling up humanitarian aid distribution across the region.
