UN Security Council calls on Palestinians to cease Qassam fire




The UN Security Council issued a statement Wednesday, calling the Palestinians to cease Qassam fire at Israel.

 

Unlike previous statements made by the council, calling on both Israel and the Palestinians to cease fire, Wednesday's statement did not call for a bilateral ceasefire, but rather for curbing of clashes in Gaza and the firing of rockets at Israel. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
