(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) – The Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) welcomes with cautious optimism the agreement reached on the initial phase of a peace plan for Gaza. We view this development as a critical step toward
alleviating the immense suffering of the Palestinian people, and the safe return of the Israeli hostages.
The Community considers the stipulated terms – including a sustained pause in hostilities, the withdrawal of military forces, the reciprocal release of hostages and prisoners, and the guarantee of immediate and safe humanitarian access – to be constructive and fundamental.
CARICOM emphatically calls upon all signatories to honour these commitments in full and to ensure this first phase serves as a foundation for a permanent and unconditional ceasefire. We reiterate that a just and lasting peace, in accordance with international law, can only be achieved through a negotiated Two-State Solution, which upholds the legitimate aspirations for security and dignity of both nations.
