The Government of National Unity (GNU) welcomed the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. The Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed, in a statement, its hope that the agreement would end "the suffering of the Palestinian people from an unjust aggression that lasted for more than a year, in flagrant violation of international conventions and resolutions, resulting in the martyrdom of thousands of children and women and the displacement and destruction of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on everyone to adhere to the agreed upon texts, and to prevent any evasion or inaction aimed to prolong the crisis, the return of the displaced, and the release of detainees and prisoners from the "prisons of injustice," in addition to assuming legal responsibility for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and allowing the entry of humanitarian aid urgently.

The Ministry hailed the efforts of the mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States that led the negotiation process to the declaration of a ceasefire, stressing Libya's firm position that the solution to the Palestinian Cause and the Arab-Israeli conflict will not happen except by returning rights to their owners, ending the suffering of the Palestinian people from displacement and siege, and establishing their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The Head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, welcomed the agreement, calling for ensuring its smooth implementation and commitment by all parties to it, and he praised the role of the mediators.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, announced reaching a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

The war of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation led to 157,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them were children and women, and more than 11,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
