Annan to Israel: Show restraint
(JTA) - Kofi Annan called on Israel to refrain from attacks on Palestinian infrastructure and institutions.
The UN secretary-general, attending the African Union summit in Gambia on July 2, took time out to address Israel's recent strikes on the Gaza Strip and its arrests of leading Hamas officials. "I remain very concerned about the need to preserve Palestinian institutions and infrastructure,” Annan said. "They will be the basis for an eventual two-state solution and are thus in the interest of both Israelis and Palestinians. It would, therefore, seem inadvisable to carry out actions that would have the opposite effect.”
