➡️ strongly condemned the escalation of violence in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, following increased settler violence, the expansion of illegal settlements and Israel’s military operations
➡️ expressed eagerness to see the temporarily postponed Conference on the Two State Solution being held in the near future, so as to bring new momentum to the political process given that the Palestinian issue remains central for regional stability.
