The Secretary-General condemns today's terror attacks in Israel and the occupied West Bank. He expresses his condolences to the families of the five people killed today -- three Israelis, a Palestinian and an American -- and hopes for a full and speedy recovery for those injured. It is imperative now to restore calm. 

The Secretary-General calls upon all political, religious and community leaders to speak out against such brutal acts and refrain from incendiary language. He reiterates that only a negotiated solution to the conflict can bring peace and security to the peoples of this troubled land.
