Ban says 'time running out' for Israel, Palestinian talks

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Thursday Israel and the Palestinians are running out of time to solve their conflict and urged them to resume stalled peace talks.

 

Ban, speaking to the Herzliya Conference on security, said that Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal, and called the Israeli construction in the region a "provocation." The UN chief added that he would "spare no efforts" to help the sides negotiate a settlement involving the creation of a separate Palestinian state alongside Israel. (Reuters and Yair Altman)
