United Nations – The U.N. chief on Wednesday 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.
To all the dear Jew haters of the UN:
It’s high time you direct your messages about aggression and de-escalating tensions to the barbarians who are responsible. Don’t even bother saying these messages to Israel, that is only acting in self defense. Once the rockets and other forms of terror stop, you will watch Israel stop its bombing and air stikes.
Drop dead UN NOW you are calling on the Arabs in Gaza to stop. What about the 120 rockets before. UN a waste of space
Oh shut up you worthless pieces of UN protoplasm!!
Could you please repeat yourself….Mr UN…
“BOTH” sides….. protection of civilians at all times.
Do they realize that they are talking about Hamas, that there tactics are only using and abusing civilians on both sides…… What an idiotic statement!
Bla bla bla….shut up and let Israel take care of business. They will whether or not you say anything.
Where was the UN for the past several weeks when Hamas was firing rockets into Israeli towns? Now that Israel sent one of them back home to Allah, Kak-em-oon from the UN wakes up?
I’m not pro israel at all, I just wander why the tension always escalates when israel strikes back
For all the comments here: w/o the UN & USA isreal wouldn’t be reconized as a land & also they would be already long time distroud c”v, they are surrounded with big enemies & stronger & hatefull they can do it in one day c”v. My opinion: isreal sould give back for the arabs what they stole them in 1967 & promise you they will stop throwing rockets,
Thank you UN for protesting the killing of an innocent terrorist. This is much worse than firing thousands of rockets into a sovereign nation. I’m glad US citizens pay for you to spread your messages of hate from our financial capital (NY). Maybe the UN can be the next industry we outsource.
Mr. Secretary General if you are serious please prepare yourself and leaders of the U.N. to spend several nights in Arad, Ashdod, and Eilat, without prior press announcement, then you can talk.
As soon as Israel mops up in Gaza, there should be one more surgical airstrike in New York to take out the UN.
all the hot air coming out of the UN is the major cause of global warming.
