Ramallah, June 25, 2025 (WAFA) – President Mahmoud Abbas expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation for the successful efforts of US President Donald Trump in reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, considering it a necessary and important step to defuse the crises plaguing the world, which will positively impact the security and stability of the region.

In a letter to his American counterpart, the President recalled Trump's courageous stances in which he expressed the need to stop the war on the Gaza Strip and achieve an immediate and permanent ceasefire, saying this is an additional step in his important efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace between the Palestinians, the Israelis, and the entire world, and "to give hope to the peoples of the region that peace can be achieved and that justice can prevail, if the will and leadership you represent are present."

President Abbas reiterated full readiness to work closely with President Trump and relevant Arab and international parties to negotiate immediately and implement a comprehensive peace agreement within a clear and binding timeframe that ends the occupation and achieves security and stability for all—a just and lasting peace based on international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative.

The President affirmed the State of Palestine's readiness to work with President Trump, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Arab and Islamic countries, and European and international partners to fulfill the promise of peace and achieve security and stability for all.

"With you, we can achieve what seemed impossible: a recognized, free, sovereign, and secure Palestine; a recognized and secure Israel; and a region that enjoys peace, prosperity, and integration," President Abbas said.

He added, "We are filled with hope and confidence in your ability to create a new history for our region, restoring the peace that has been lost for generations."
