The Republic of Uzbekistan welcomes the agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages, reached with the direct support of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

We highly value the coordinated efforts of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkiye, which played a significant role in this important process, paving the way for the swift cessation of violence, alleviation of the humanitarian crisis, and resumption of political dialogue.

Uzbekistan consistently advocates for a lasting and just peace in the Middle East, based on international law and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

We are convinced that the ceasefire should not be a temporary measure, but rather a step toward a long-term political settlement that guarantees security, sustainable coexistence, and the restoration of mutual trust between the parties.

The Republic of Uzbekistan reaffirms its readiness to continue contributing constructively to international efforts aimed at achieving peace, stability, and humanitarian relief in the Middle East region.
