Singapore is gravely concerned about the escalating tensions in the Middle East, which have put at risk efforts to secure a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, said Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.
Replying to MPs’ questions in Parliament on Wednesday , he said Singapore firmly supports the ceasefire proposal first announced by the US on May 31. He pointed out that as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, Singapore stands with the entire international community in calling for an immediate ceasefire, unconditional release and safe release of all hostages and unhindered humanitarian access. He urged all sides to comply with international law.
