"This development represents a hopeful step toward resolving the conflict, securing the release of all hostages, and establishing the conditions for lasting peace and security in the region,"
"This moment demands unity, resolve, and the moral clarity to ensure that peace and security endure and every hostage returns home."
"our prayers are answered - not completely, for the pain of loss remains - but with the long-awaited promise of healing, renewal, and hope."
"applauds President Trump and his negotiating team for this tremendous achievement and for working together with Israel to broker this peace plan."
Jewish organizations across the ideological spectrum offered cautious optimism after the announcement of the first phase of a Gaza peace agreement. Organizations expressed profound relief at the planned return of hostages, both living and dead, and voiced tentative hopes that the plan could lead toward lasting regional peace. Only groups consistently advocating a two-state solution laid out a specific vision, aligning with elements of the Trump administration's 20-point plan, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects. Nearly all groups noted that the war began with Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks and urged vigilance that Hamas would uphold any agreement. Several organizations thanked the Trump administration for brokering the deal and emphasized humanitarian implications, unity, and security.
