United Nations, Nov 20 (UNI) The UN's envoy for Middle East peace urged Palestinian factions Monday to immediately put aside their differences and reconcile following the latest episode of violence between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Nickolay Mladenov told the Security Council "The latest outbreak of violence came just as the United Nations and its partners were intensifying efforts to alleviate Gaza’s deepening humanitarian and economic crises, and, critically, to provide space for ongoing Egyptian-led efforts to advance intra-Palestinian reconciliation, Anadolu Agency reported.
"This is essential to ending the occupation and resolving the wider political conflict," he added.
