MOFA Spokesperson's Statement on Gaza Peace Plan


The government of the Republic of Korea welcomes the United States' recent announcement of the launch of Phase Two of the Gaza Peace Plan as well as the formation of the Board of Peace and the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). The ROK government appreciates President Trump's initiative in advancing peace in Gaza, along with the efforts of mediators including Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye.

The government hopes that the parties thoroughly and swiftly implement the Peace Plan to ensure the return of one remaining hostage, the improvement of the humanitarian situation, and the demilitarization of Gaza, eventually resulting in the reconstruction and restoration of peace in Gaza.

The government will continue to actively engage in the international community's efforts to promote peace in the Middle East, including the implementation of the two-state solution.
