United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland warned Friday, 16 September 2022 against further deterioration of the security situation and the unacceptable daily loss of life in the Occupied West Bank.

In a tweet on his Twitter feed, Wennesland expressed his deep concern about the deteriorating security situation and the unacceptable daily loss of life in the Occupied West Bank.

“There can be no winners if the current violence continues to escalate. Civilians continue to pay the price for political failure”, he said. 

Tor Wennesland elaborated that violence and use of force only perpetuate the crisis and must cease.

(2/2) Violence & use of force only perpetuate the crisis & must cease. We are engaging with all concerned to immediately reduce tensions. Political & community leaders on all sides must act now & engage in good faith thru dialogue to prevent the sit. from spiraling out of control
