“The conflict is reaching a boiling point again. This increase in violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory comes against the backdrop of a stalled peace process and entrenched occupation, amid growing economic and institutional challenges,” warned the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Palestinian Peace Process in Middle East, Tor Wennesland. “The high levels of violence in the West Bank and Israel in recent months, including attacks against Israeli and Palestinian civilians, and the increased use of weapons have caused severe human suffering,” he stressed speaking at the United Nations Security Council.
