BRUSSELS - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday (Sept 30) that she welcomed US President Donald Trump's peace proposal to end the nearly two-year-old war in Gaza.
"Welcome President @realDonaldTrump's commitment to end the war in Gaza. Encourage all parties to now seize this opportunity. The EU stands ready to contribute," she wrote on X.
"Hostilities should end with provision of immediate humanitarian relief to the population in Gaza and with all hostages released immediately," she added.
