Singapore's stance on the ongoing conflict in Gaza remains unwavering, with the government reiterating its commitment to a two-state solution as the only viable path towards a lasting resolution. This position is consistent with Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan's February 2024 statement emphasizing zero tolerance for terrorism and the right to self-defence under international law.
Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has expressed strong opposition to Israel's restrictions on humanitarian supplies, calling them "unacceptable" and potentially a breach of international humanitarian law. Singapore has taken concrete steps to support this position, providing over $19 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza through air drop operations and medical deployments.
Despite differences with other countries, including China which contributed only $2.75 million, Singapore's commitment to a two-state solution remains unchanged. Prime Minister Wong joins French President Emmanuel Macron in calling for an immediate ceasefire and unhindered aid delivery.
