Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye’s diplomatic role has also ​been invaluable in making this deal happen. We must continue to work on agreement on the other steps of the peace plan and a durable outcome. 3/3

Full implementation is now crucial, starting with the immediate release of all hostages and unhindered access for humanitarian aid for Gaza. We thank President Trump for his leadership. 2/3

Agreement on a first phase of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas is a very significant step. Let this be a historical turning point for peace and stability in the Middle East, and put an end to two years of unimaginable suffering. 1/3

De diplomatieke inzet van Egypte, Qatar en Turkije was ook essentieel voor de totstandkoming van deze deal. We moeten nu vol blijven inzetten op overeenstemming over de overige stappen van het vredesplan en een duurzaam toekomstperspectief. 3/3

Cruciaal dat afspraken worden uitgevoerd, te beginnen met de onmiddellijke vrijlating van alle gijzelaars en ongehinderde humanitaire toegang voor Gaza. Ik dank president Trump voor zijn leiderschap. 2/3

Overeenstemming tussen Israël en Hamas over de eerste fase van een deal is van zeer grote betekenis. Laat dit een keerpunt zijn voor vrede en stabiliteit in het Midden-Oosten en een einde brengen aan twee jaar van onbeschrijfelijk leed. 1/3

My first visit to Asia as Minister of Foreign Affairs is to Indonesia - a reflection of the deep and long-standing ties between our two countries. Rooted in history, strengthened by trade, culture and friendship, and forward-looking. It’s a privilege to be here.

Ook zetten we ons diplomatiek in voor bredere medische evacuaties in de regio en betere toegang voor humanitaire partners. We bekijken of enkele kinderen die complexe hoog-specialistische zorg nodig hebben tijdelijk in Nederland kunnen worden geholpen. 2/2

Het Al Arish Hospital is een van de vele ziekenhuizen in Egypte waar patiënten uit Gaza worden opgevangen. Deze zorg staat onder hoge druk. Nederland steunt Egypte hierbij met €2 miljoen voor medische goederen via de WHO, als onderdeel van een medisch steunpakket voor Gaza. 1/2

Het is onacceptabel dat Israël veilige, ongehinderde hulpverlening in Gaza nog steeds onvoldoende faciliteert. Egypte speelt een sleutelrol bij de aanlevering van hulpgoederen. Ik besprak ontwikkelingen en knelpunten bij de Rafah border en een logistiek centrum van de Egyptische Rode Halve Maan.

We also stand ready to contribute to Egypt's medical support efforts for Gaza, including with €2 million for essential medical supplies. I look forward to continuing our valuable partnership, also in other critical areas such as migration and trade. 3/3

I welcomed Egypt's unwavering mediating efforts - to end the catastrophic situation in Gaza, get the hostages out, and achieve a lasting solution. It is encouraging that Israel and Hamas have now started negotiations here in Egypt. All of our efforts should be aimed at this. 2/3

Egypt is a key strategic partner in a volatile region. In #Cairo, I met with my colleague Badr Abdelatty to discuss our strong cooperation and peace efforts for Gaza. The Netherlands will join as one of the co-hosts of a Gaza reconstruction conference organised by Egypt. 1/3

Arab and EU countries join efforts to make this a success and ensure a ceasefire, the release of hostages and a massive increase in humanitarian aid. 2/2

Important to be in Egypt today, together with Egypt FM Badr Abdelatty and German FM Johann Wadephul - as many parties come together here to bring an end to the war in Gaza and work towards realisation of the peace plan. A unique window of opportunity to finally work towards sustainable peace. 1/2

Always a pleasure to catch up with my German colleague Johann Wadephul. We agreed that all efforts must be directed towards President Trump's Gaza peace plan. On Ukraine, we discussed ways to provide maximum financial support and the urgency of ramping up pressure on Russia.

Good to speak again with #KSA Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Waleed Bin Abdulkarim al-Khereiji. We appreciate the unwavering Saudi efforts in support of the two-state solution and our continued close coordination. Useful to reflect on Gaza, Iran, Sudan, and recent developments in the Red Sea.

Thanked my #Kuwaiti colleague Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya for hosting this timely EU-GCC meeting. Kuwait is an important partner in the Gulf region. Today, we formally agreed to establish a Joint Commission to foster political dialogue. A welcome next step in our bilateral relations.

Met with EU special rep. for the Gulf region Di Maio. His work has helped deepen EU-Gulf relations in many areas. Gulf-EU partnership is crucial given our shared interest in regional peace & stability. We value the involvement of Gulf countries in establishing peace in Gaza.
