SECRETARY-GENERAL STRONGLY URGES ISRAELI AUTHORITIES TO HALT DEMOLITION OF PALESTINIAN HOMES NEW YORK, 11 July (UN Headquarters) -- The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan: The Secretary-General believes that actions such as the demolition of Palestinian homes which took place on 9 and 10 July only aggravate the already extremely tense situation in the occupied Palestinian territory. He strongly urges the Israeli authorities to halt such activities. The Secretary-General reiterates his appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint, cease the violence and re-initiate the peace process by implementing the Mitchell report. * *** * |
