UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk described President Donald Trump's Gaza peace proposal as essential for ending violence in the Palestinian territory on Saturday. Trump urged Israel to halt combat operations as Hamas signaled willingness to free hostages and begin negotiations to conclude the conflict that has lasted nearly two years. Turk's office stated the plan could establish permanent peace and enable recovery efforts when aligned with international human rights standards and the two-state framework.
The proposal outlines a gradual Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas disarmament measures. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus endorsed the plan on Saturday and highlighted the prospects for hospital reconstruction. Israeli forces maintained operations in Gaza City on Saturday and instructed residents against returning despite pressure from hostage families and Trump for immediate ceasefire implementation.
