UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. chief is urging Hamas to end its rocket attacks on Israel and asking Israeli leaders to exercise maximum restraint.
Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Martin Nesirky said the secretary-general "is extremely concerned about the continued violence in Gaza and Israel, and deeply worried by the rising cost in terms of civilian lives."
"He urgently appeals to all concerned to do everything under their command to stop this dangerous escalation and restore calm. Rocket attacks are unacceptable and must stop at once. Israel must exercise maximum restraint," Nesirky told reporters Friday.
He says "A new cycle of bloodshed will make neither Israelis nor Palestinians more secure. Nor will bloodshed open the door to negotiations that could achieve the two-state solution necessary to end such violence permanently."
