They truly deserve our appreciation and thanks for the work they've put in under the leadership of President Trump to make this possible.
This Gaza situation was impossible to solve under orthodoxy, under existing structures.
And so what we did is they went to the UN and they got the UN's approval to put this group together and bring these nations together to come up with a very specific solution, solutions to a very unique and specific problem.
We have a long ways to go.
There's a lot of work that remains.
It will require the contribution of every nation-state represented here today, and we thank you for being a part of it.
And I hope that this โ we hope that this can serve as a model for other complex and difficult situations so they can be solved in the same way.
But right now, the focus is on this one.
We have to get this right.
There is no Plan B for Gaza.
Plan B is going back to war.
No one here wants that.
Plan A, the only path forward, is one that rebuilds Gaza in a way of enduring and sustainable peace, where everyone can live there side by side with one another and never worry again about returning to conflict, to war, to human suffering, and to destruction.
And again, Mr. President, thank you for having the vision and the courage to pursue something that has never been done before.
And we're not done yet.
And thank you to Steve Woodcoff and Jared Kushner for the time and the work they put into this.
And thank you on behalf of the State Department and the U.S.
government to all of the nations that are here.
Every one of you is indispensable, including our observer partners, who we hope can find your way to join us at some point as officially part of this.
But we are grateful for the fact you're here today and the contributions you've made already.
