The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki moon, Thursday, warned the United Nations Security Council of a serious escalation of casualties in the Israel and Gaza could only be avoided if parties worked towards a two state solution.
“My paramount concern is the safety and well-being of all civilians, no matter where they are. It pains me – and it should pain us all – to be reliving circumstances that are all too reminiscent of the two most recent wars in Gaza,” said Ban Ki-moon.
“The parties themselves, regional partners and the international community must do everything possible to resume meaningful negotiations towards a viable two-State solution,” he added.
