Statement by the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nikolai Mladenov
"I am deeply concerned about the serious escalation in Gaza and the tragic loss of life, and my thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of all those killed, and I wish the speedy recovery of the wounded.
The United Nations is working with Egypt and all parties to calm the situation. I call upon all parties to immediately retreat and return to the understandings of the past few months. Those who seek to destroy it will bear responsibility for the conflict, which will have dire consequences for all.
Continuing the course of the current escalation will soon reverse what has been achieved and destroy the opportunities of long-term solutions to the crisis. The cycle of violence must end and efforts must be accelerated to achieve a political solution to the crisis in Gaza.
The current violence threats the significant progress made in recent weeks to ease the suffering of people in Gaza, lift closures and support internal Palestinian reconciliation. "
