EU says UN Gaza plan vote 'important step'

The European Union hailed the UN Security Council's vote in favour of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan as "an important step".

It is "an important step in advancing the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflic," the EU's foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni said.

"It consolidates the ceasefire, enables humanitarian access at scale and opens the way for early recovery, reconstruction and institutional reform in Gaza."
