The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) is deeply alarmed and saddened by the escalating cycle of violence in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.
PAM joins the appeal of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process for an immediate reduction of tensions to prevent the loss of innocent lives, among them many children.
In this moment, it is imperative to de-escalate tensions, restore calm, and avoid further conflict.
PAM is fully committed to support the efforts of the international community to mobilize the political momentum for the resuming of peace negotiations and the achievement of the Two- State Solution, with both Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace and security, within safe and recognized borders, in line with relevant United Nations resolutions and the international law.//
