UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the "stakes had never been higher" for establishing a two-state solution.

Axar.az reports that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the Gaza deal agreement a "breakthrough" in a statement.

"I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by President Donald J. Trump. I commend the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey in brokering this desperately needed breakthrough," Guterres said.

"I urge all concerned to abide fully by the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released in a dignified manner. A permanent ceasefire must be secured. The fighting must stop once and for all. Immediate and unimpeded entry of humanitarian supplies and essential commercial materials into Gaza must be ensured. The suffering must end.

He added that the UN would scale up the delivery of humanitarian aid, as per the agreement, and that it would "advance recovery and reconstruction efforts in Gaza."
