Foreign Secretary's statement on the Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has made a statement on the commitment to move to Phase 2 of the Peace Plan and the announcement of the Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. 

She said:

I welcome the commitment to move to Phase 2 of the Peace Plan, including the announcement of the Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.

It's critical we build momentum to sustain the ceasefire, address the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza with increased aid, remove the threat from Hamas, and deliver long-term peace for Israelis and Palestinians. All parties must deliver on their commitments under President Trump's 20 Point Peace Plan.

These transitional measures should be delivered with the support of the international community, in accordance with international law, with respect for Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination, and in support of a two-state solution with security and peace for both Israel and Palestine. The UK has been consistently clear that the future of Gaza must be Palestinian-led.
