Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will fly to the Middle East on Saturday to meet Israelis and Palestinians and “to express solidarity with the Israelis and Palestinians” amid the conflict in the Gaza Strip, Undersecretary General Jeffrey Feltman says at a Security Council meeting.
He condemns the “indiscriminate rocket fire” by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, but says the secretary general is “alarmed by Israel’s heavy response” by launching a ground invasion of the territory. He calls the placement of rockets in an UNRWA school a “flagrant violation” and calls for an investigation.
