UN official condemns violence, blames ‘stifling occupation’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn emergency UN Security Council meeting on Israeli-Palestinian violence has now begun in New York.
Jan Eliasson, deputy secretary general of the UN, speaks first, condemning “in the strongest terms all attacks against Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
He describes the recent knife and shooting attacks as “particularly appalling.”
But he goes on to say that the round of violence would not have occurred if not for the “stifling and humiliating occupation.”
