BAN CALLS FOR MAXIMUM RESTRAINT AMID LATEST VIOLENCE IN ISRAEL, GAZA
AND WEST BANKNew York, Dec 24 2013 2:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today voiced concern about the escalating violence in Israel,
Gaza and the West Bank, and called for maximum restraint by all
parties to prevent further bloodshed.

In a <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7372">statement
issued by his spokesperson, Mr. Ban condemned the killing of an
Israeli civilian today as a result of cross-border fire from Gaza, and
the bus bombing near Tel Aviv on Sunday.

He also deplored the death of a young child in Gaza from Israeli
retaliatory raids today as well as a number of Palestinian civilian
casualties since Friday.

"The Secretary-General rejects all actions targeting civilians and
calls on all concerned to exert maximum restraint to prevent another
cycle of bloodshed," said his spokesperson.

"It is also essential to preserve the ceasefire understanding of
November 2012 and restore calm," he added, referring to the
Egyptian-brokered ceasefire agreement that brought an end to the cycle
of violence that erupted last year between Israel and the Palestinian
group Hamas, which controls Gaza.

"The Secretary-General," the spokesperson added, "continues to
emphasize the need for the Israeli and Palestinian sides to remain
steadfast in their commitment to achieving the two-State solution in
order to end the violence permanently."

Following a three-year hiatus, Israelis and Palestinians resumed
direct negotiations this past August, thanks to the efforts of United
States Secretary of State John Kerry. Senior United Nations officials,
including Mr. Ban, have stressed the importance of giving the resumed
peace talks a chance to bear fruit and for both sides to avoid actions
that might undermine efforts to achieve a political solution to this
long-standing conflict.Dec 24 2013 2:00PM
