The U.N. chief today called on Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants to prevent an escalation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip, which Hamas controls, and urged both sides to ensure civilians will be protected, a U.N. spokesman said.
“The Secretary-General calls for an immediate de-escalation of tensions,” U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said, adding that it was a reiteration of Ban’s already-stated position.
“Both sides should do everything to avoid further escalation and they must respect their obligations under international humanitarian law to ensure the protection of civilians at all times,” he told reporters.

Hey Shoiteh, Mr. Monkey Moon, do you know how to count to 8000?????
800 missiles in less than a year were shot indescrimanently into our civilian neighborhoods and only now you have a comment??? Open your sealed-shut eyes, you anti-Semite moron!
what happened now that israel is defending itself that he un wakes up?
Hey, Why don’t you shut your stupid mouth for once, you fool
If he cannot see the difference between right and wrong and instead treats both sides ‘equally’ he has no right to the position he holds
I wonder why he said this today and not yesterday?
#3 and #5 – right on the money. They should only de-escalate the tensions when the Israeli military is involved.
