This resolution addresses the situation in Gaza, condemning Hamas's terrorism and calling for the immediate release of all hostages. It supports humanitarian aid via the GHF, rejects any future role for Hamas, and urges that recognition of Palestinian statehood be conditional on hostage release.

Key points

  1. Deplores terrorism by Hamas and other groups against Israel and civilians, and regrets the loss of innocent lives.
  2. Calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages in Gaza, living and deceased, and their dignified return to Israel.
  3. Supports continued humanitarian aid via the GHF, stressing it must reach civilians and not be diverted to terrorists.
  4. Underlines that there can be no future role for Hamas or any other terrorist group in Gaza.
  5. Calls on member states intending to recognise Palestinian statehood to make it conditional on full hostage release, and believes recognition is inappropriate now.
  6. Encourages continued EU-Israel relations in all areas, in line with the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
  7. Recognises the duty of all parties to respect international law on armed conflict and treatment of civilians.

Who is affected

  • Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza: no future role, must release hostages.
  • Member states considering recognising Palestinian statehood: must condition it on hostage release.
  • EU and its member states: encouraged to maintain relations with Israel.
