Office of the Spokesperson
March 18,
2025
Representatives from the United States of
America, Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Israel, and
the United Kingdom met to align in our commitment to end the
reprehensible acts of hostage-taking and unjust detention.
These acts are a flagrant affront to human rights.
Perpetrators of these practices shatter lives and
communities, undermine peace, and threaten global security
and trade.
We reaffirm our cooperation in confronting
these challenges to support human dignity, protect the rule
of law, and promote the conditions for international
collaboration and peace. We will spare no effort, in
accordance with international law, to bring home hostages
and unjustly or arbitrarily detained individuals and to
deter such future acts.
We are united in our demand
for the immediate and unconditional release of all
hostages.
