We wish to place on record our outrage at the actions of the Israeli government
which are destroying any possibility of a renewal of dialogue - as envisaged
in the Road Map - by the policy of targetted assassinations and the accompanying
murder of Palestinian civilians, setting in train an escalation of destructive
action and reaction. We are particularly appalled by the declaration of defence
Minister Mofas calling for the extermination of opposition groups, from grass-roots
supporters to leaders. These actions and intemperate calls play into the hands
of extremists on both sides. They are leading to an all-out war and will bring
despair and destuction to both peoples.
We call on the international community and particularly on the Quartet to intervene
immediately by supporting the call for an international peace keeping force
made by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
