SECRETARY-GENERAL STRONGLY URGES ISRAELI AUTHORITIES
TO HALT DEMOLITION OF PALESTINIAN HOMES
The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan:
The Secretary-General believes that actions such as the demolition of Palestinian homes which took place on 9 and 10 July only aggravate the already extremely tense situation in the occupied Palestinian territory. He strongly urges the Israeli authorities to halt such activities.
The Secretary-General reiterates his appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint, cease the violence and re-initiate the peace process by implementing the Mitchell report.
