Washington: United nations showed concerned over rising rhetoric and violent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli Security Forces (ISF) at the Holy Sites.
Officials said that said that the situation, however, in Jerusalem, is “relatively calm.”
However, rocket launching in Gaza is “undermining the fragile stability that has prevailed since last May,” a statement read by UN.
Meanwhile, Palestinian leaders have made some commendable efforts to ease tensions, condemn attacks and rein in violence that “should continue,” Tor Wennesland, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process said, “Let me be clear: there is no justification for acts of terrorism or violence against civilians. Violence, provocations, and incitement must stop immediately and be unequivocally condemned by all”.
