Prime Minister Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama will participate in the Peace Forum in Paris, at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron. On the eve of this Forum, the head of the Albanian government has announced that he will discuss the possibility of stopping the conflict in Gaza.

Reiterating Albania's stand against Israel against Hamas, Prime Minister Rama says he is concerned by the destruction, civilian casualties and suffering in Gaza. Rama announces that tomorrow he will emphasize that the conflict in Gaza must be ended before it gets out of control.

"In Paris I will emphasize that it is essential to end this conflict before it gets out of control. Also, I will emphasize that while Israel has the indisputable right to self-defense, it must do so in accordance with international humanitarian law. Prolonging this conflict only feeds Hamas' ambitions for chaos and a wider conflict. A negotiated cessation of active hostilities is necessary," writes Rama.

Rama says he will ask President Macron for his support to engage with other leaders to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

"In exchange for an immediate cease-fire from Israel, the Arab League and Turkey must ensure the unconditional and safe release of all hostages kidnapped by Hamas. In exchange for an immediate cease-fire from Israel, the Arab League and Turkey must ensure the unconditional and safe release of all hostages taken by Hamas. The reoccupation of Gaza is unacceptable. With the release of the hostages, Israel must withdraw all forces from Gaza.

After the terrible crimes committed on October 7, there can be no political future for Hamas. Under the UN mandate, an international force led by the Arab League could temporarily take control of Gaza, facilitating the necessary reconstruction and transition of governing responsibilities from Hamas to the Palestinian Authority. Albania is ready to co-sponsor the necessary UN Security Council resolution for the above. With the cessation of all fighting, the international community must commit to organizing an international conference of donors to finance the reconstruction of Gaza", writes Rama.
