JERUSALEM, July 31, 2015 (WAFA) –
United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay
Mladenov Friday said the crime in which a toddler was brutally killed
“reinforces the need for an immediate resolution of the conflict and an end to
the occupation.”
In a press statement, he strongly
condemned the arson attack in the Occupied West Bank’s village of Duma, south
of Nablus and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
Mladenov said, “I am outraged by
today’s vicious arson attack by suspected Jewish extremists in the Occupied
West Bank village of Duma near Nablus, which killed Palestinian toddler, Ali,
critically injured his mother and father and injured his four-year old sibling.
My thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims.”
He joined in the strong
condemnations issued by Israeli and Palestinian Government and political
leaders and called for “a full and prompt investigation to bring the
perpetrators of this terrorist crime to justice.”
Mladenov suggested the murder was
carried out for a political objective and that all sides must not permit such
acts to allow hate and violence to bring more personal tragedies and to bury
any prospect of peace.
