UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process on a Ramming Attack in Israel – UNSCO Statement

Press Statement

United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, on a ramming attack in Jerusalem

Jerusalem, 8 January 2017

“I condemn today’s terror attack by a Palestinian perpetrator in Jerusalem which reportedly killed four Israeli soldiers and injured several others.

My thoughts are with the families and friends of all victims.

It is reprehensible that some choose to glorify such acts which undermine the possibility of a peaceful future for both Palestinians and Israelis. There is nothing heroic in such actions.

I urge all to condemn violence and incitement, maintain calm and to do everything they can to avoid further escalation.”
