Statement by the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,

Mr. Robert Serry, on the murder of a Palestinian boy in Jerusalem

 

Jerusalem, 2 July 2014

I strongly condemn the reported murder of a Palestinian boy in Jerusalem. I recall the Secretary-General’s message: there can be no justification for the deliberate killing of civilians – any civilians. The perpetrators of such heinous acts must be brought to justice. I repeat my call on all sides to do everything they can not to further exacerbate an already tense atmosphere.

Our thoughts are with the bereaved family.
