Gravely concerned by heightened violence across o. West Bank. We must avoid further escalation - attacks on civilians must stop, incl. settler violence. As the war in Gaza continues & regional instability mounts, West Bank stability is essential to keep alive prospects for peace.

Good discussion w/ Algerian FM @AhmedAttaf_Dz on the situation in MidEast & need for the IC to work together to avoid a broader regional conflict. There must be an end to the hostilities in Gaza, release of all hostages & a return to political path to resolve Isr - Pal conflict.

People in #Gaza must see an end to the horrors they continue to endure. Hostages still held in captivity must be reunited w/ their loved ones. The fate of the victims cannot be used as leverage. Civilians on both sides should no longer pay the price for this terrible conflict. 👇

5 months have passed since the acts of terror by Hamas in #Israel , and the onset of hostilities in #Gaza . 5 months of suffering & pain. Too many lives have been lost, too many families have been left in agony. We need an end to this misery now. My full statement 👇🏼

I condemn yesterday's reported advancement by #Israel of plans for ~ 3,400 housing units in settlements in o. West Bank. All settlements are illegal under international law, & I urge #Israel to cease all settlement activity & refrain from provocative actions. Full statement:👇

Productive meeting w/ Pres Abbas on situation in OPT, & UN efforts in Gaza. Underscored that 2-State sol. remains the only way forward. UN will continue to work for realization of a Palestinian State, of which Gaza is an integral part, living in peace & security alongside Israel.

Today, on #HolocaustRemembranceDay , we mourn the six million Jews who perished in the horrors of the Holocaust. I echo the Secretary-General’s appeal to condemn #Antisemitism wherever it occurs and to stand against the forces of hate and division. #NeverAgain #NeverForget #Shoah
