Condemning the terror attack in Hadera, Israel, which caused a number of casualties among Israeli civilians, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today called for an end to the intensification of violence.
"The Secretary-General believes that an opportunity exists to address the longstanding conflict between Palestinians and Israelis; it must not be allowed to fall victim to violence. The forces of moderation and negotiation must prevail," Mr. Annan said in a statement issued by his spokesman.
The statement also called for "an immediate stop to the escalation of all violent acts."
