UN Special Coordinator to the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov “strongly condemn[s] the two stabbing attacks that took place within the past 24 hours in the settlements of Otniel and Tekoa in the occupied West Bank, which resulted in the death of Dafna Meir, a 39 year old mother of six, and seriously injuring Michal Froman, a pregnant woman in her 30s.”

“Nothing justifies the murder of a mother in front of her own children. My thoughts are with the families and friends of all victims of violence,” a statement from his office says.

Mladenov calls on “Israeli and Palestinian authorities to take action to ensure that the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice.”
