The Government of Guyana has expressed its support for the United States’ call for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza.
In a recent statement, the Guyanese government acknowledged the three-phase plan proposed by U.S. President Joseph Biden on May 31, 2024, aimed at ending Israel’s war on Gaza.

“We have observed that the proposal aligns with several resolutions previously adopted by the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly, resolutions which Guyana has endorsed,” the statement read.
The Guyanese government highlighted key elements of the proposed plan, which include an immediate and sustained ceasefire, the unconditional release of hostages, a rapid increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the necessity of a comprehensive reconstruction plan for Gaza.
Additionally, Guyana emphasized that any reconstruction efforts must be accompanied by strong security guarantees.
The statement further stressed the importance of achieving a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has persisted for over seven decades. The government reiterated that the only viable solution is the full implementation of a two-state solution, establishing a free and independent State of Palestine based on the pre-1967 borders, living peacefully alongside the State of Israel.
In its call to action, the Government of Guyana urged the international community to intensify efforts to end the conflict, putting an end to the decades of bloodshed and insecurity that have defined the Israeli-Palestinian struggle.
