“This is an important moment and we hope that the humanitarian pause can go ahead soon and humanitarian aid can be brought in to the people of Gaza. We hope more access routes will be opened. Let this not be a missed opportunity to make a step towards peace. The entire peace process in the Middle East has been a succession of missed opportunities. Let’s hope this will not be another one”.
