"I have long called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and unimpeded access for aid into Gaza.
"Now after almost eight months of conflict and suffering, there is a plan on the table that can move us closer to securing those goals and that can help create space to build a just and lasting peace and two-state solution.
"I call on all parties to give the plan presented by President Biden serious and positive consideration.
"This is an opportunity that should not be missed.
"It is long past time for the suffering to end."
