The US on Thursday called on both the Israeli and Palestinians to life-preserving steps.
“We have continued to call on both sides, on both our Israeli partners and the Palestinian Authority, to take prudent steps to ensure the loss of civilian life is prevented and that steps are taken to ensure that violence is reduced and these kinds of actions don’t happen,” said Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson at the State Ministry “Of course, the reporting that we’re seeing from overnight is tragic and heartbreaking, but that is exactly why we continue to pursue our efforts for a negotiated two-state solution, and why we continue to pursue a goal of equal measures of prosperity, security, and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians,” Patel told reporters. His remarks came on the backdrop of recent violence in the West Bank and other part of occupied territories.
