Riyadh: Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has expressed his approval of the steps taken by Hamas in response to US President Donald Trump's initiative. These steps are part of broader international and regional efforts aimed at resolving the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip, achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, and alleviating the humanitarian challenges faced by the Palestinian people.
According to Saudi Press Agency, Albudaiwi reaffirmed the GCC's consistent stance in favor of establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem designated as its capital. The GCC's support reflects its commitment to addressing the longstanding issues in the region and promoting stability and peace.
