Borisov and MFA welcomed the peace agreement in Gaza

I welcome the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the release of the hostages. This was written on his profile on the social network „Ex“ GERB leader Boyko Borisov, quoted by BTA.

The world and the region will breathe a sigh of relief. Humanitarian aid will reach those in need. I hope that both sides will strictly comply with the commitments made in the name of stability and lasting peace, Borisov added.

In a publication on „Ex“, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) also welcomed the agreement between the State of Israel and „Hamas“. We hope that this long-awaited deal will stop the fighting in Gaza, create the necessary conditions for much-needed humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and for the return of hostages to their families, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

US President Joe Biden announced that Israel and the Palestinian group "Hamas" have reached an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages, which will end the fighting and will lead to a sharp increase in the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, Reuters reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that there were still several issues that "need to be resolved" in the agreement, which it hopes to officially conclude "this evening", Agence France-Presse reported.

A Hamas official told Reuters the agreement reached today with Israel as “a great achievement that embodies the legend created by the steadfastness of Gaza, its people and the bravery of its resistance“.

Palestinians took to the streets in the Gaza Strip to celebrate the news, world agencies reported. Crowds shouted with joy and honked car horns, Reuters and the Associated Press described.
