The UN envoy to the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov condemns the terror attack at the Barkan Industrial Park in the West Bank, as well as the killing of a Palestinian driver by a rock suspected to have been thrown by Israeli settlers.
Addressing the UN Security Council, Mladenov calls on all parties to condemn terror “in all its forms.”
He slams the rocket attack on Beersheba yesterday as a “dangerous escalation.”
In his speech, Mladenov says that “the situation in Gaza is imploding,” adding that “every single person in Gaza now lives below the poverty line.”
He also says Gaza should be returned to the rule of the Palestinian Authority, following harsh PA criticism that he has “overstepped” his mission by brokering a deal between Hamas and Israel without including its rival Palestinian faction in the process.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
