Statements | Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General
Once again violence and terror have claimed innocent lives in the Middle East. Once again I condemn those who resort to such methods. Once again I appeal, to Israelis and Palestinians alike, to rise above feelings of anger and vengeance, however natural, and to devote all their energies to negotiating a true and lasting peace in which two peoples will live side by side, each in their own state.
