Sp. Coordinator Serry abhorred by attack on W. Jerusalem synagogue – UNSCO statement

Statement by the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
Mr. Robert Serry, on the attack this morning on a synagogue in West Jerusalem

Jerusalem, 18 November 2014

The Special Coordinator is abhorred by the attack this morning on a synagogue in West Jerusalem. There can be no justification whatsoever for these deliberate killings, which he strongly condemns. The Special Coordinator reiterates the United Nations urgent call on all sides to do everything they can possibly do to avoid further escalation in the already very tense situation in Jerusalem. His thoughts are with the families of the victims.
