UN Middle East envoy deplores latest attacks on Israeli targets
28 November – The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Terje Roed-Larsen, today deplored a fatal attack in Israel, as well as violence against Israeli targets in Kenya.
Mr.
Roed-Larsen issued a statement condemning “in the strongest
possible terms” today's violence in Beit She'an, where
Palestinian gunmen killed five Israelis and wounded more
than 20. The civilians were targeted at a polling station
for the Likud party primary elections.
The envoy also
repeated his urgent call to Palestinians to renounce all
forms of violence, which continue “not only to harm the
prospects of a political solution to the conflict, but also
legitimate Palestinian national ambitions.”
In
addition, Mr. Roed-Larsen voiced outrage at the bombing
attack against civilians in Mombasa, Kenya, coupled with the
attempt there to down an Israeli airliner.
He
conveyed condolences to all of those affected by these
violent
attacks.
