Statement by United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
Nickolay Mladenov, on rocket fire from Gaza

Jerusalem, 2 March  2017

"I condemn yesterday's firing of a rocket from Gaza towards Israel. This is the third such incident in the past 30 days after a period of almost four months of quiet. Such provocations seek only to undermine peace.

I call on all responsible parties to exercise maximum restraint, avoid escalation and prevent incidents that jeopardize the lives of Palestinians and Israelis."
