Ban Ki-moon urges Abbas to ‘stop wave of violence’
UN chief Ban Ki-moon urges an end to spiraling violence as he meets PA President Abbas in a bid to calm three weeks of deadly unrest.
“We will continue to support all efforts to create the conditions to make meaningful negotiations possible,” Ban tells journalists after meeting Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
“But ultimately it is for Palestinians and Israelis to choose peace. Our most urgent challenge is to stop the current wave of violence and avoid any further loss of life.”
