潘基文呼吁避免加沙地带等暴力冲突
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Tuesday voiced his concerns over "escalating violence" in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, which left an Israeli civilian killed in a cross border fire in Gaza and a young Palestinian child dead in Gaza following Israeli retaliatory raids.Secretary-General Ban "condemns the killing of an Israeli civilian today as a result of cross border fire from Gaza, and the bus bombing near Tel Aviv on Sunday," said a statement issued here by Ban's spokesman. "He also deplores the death of a young child in Gaza from Israeli retaliatory raids today as well as a number of Palestinian civilian casualties since Friday. He extends his deepest condolences to the families of the victims."
A three-year-old Palestinian girl has been killed in a series of retaliatory Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, media reports said, adding that the attacks came hours after an Israeli civilian was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper while repairing the border security fence.
According to reports, the girl died when Israeli shells hit the east of Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
"The secretary-general rejects all actions targeting civilians and calls on all concerned to exert maximum restraint to prevent another cycle of bloodshed," the statement said. "It is also essential to preserve the ceasefire understanding of November 2012 and restore calm."
Ban also emphasized the need for the Israeli and Palestinian sides to remain steadfast in their commitment to achieving the two- state solution in order to end the violence permanently.
Israel considers Gaza a "hostile territory" after it was taken over by the anti-Israel Islamist Hamas movement in 2007. There has been intermittent violence along the border since a ceasefire ended an eight-day conflict between Israel and the militants in Gaza in November 2012.
There was an escalation in incidents across the Gaza border in the past week. On Friday, Palestinians who approached the fence were shot at by Israeli soldiers, and one of them was dead later.
相关新闻：联合国秘书长潘基文２４日通过发言人发表声明，对以色列、加沙地带、约旦河西岸近日暴力活动加剧表示担忧，呼吁各方保持克制，避免又一轮流血冲突。
声明说，潘基文谴责一名以色列平民当天在与加沙地带接壤的隔离栏附近被枪杀及特拉维夫附近２２日发生的公共汽车爆炸，并对以色列战机当天空袭造成一名巴勒斯坦女童死亡及近日数名巴勒斯坦人被打死打伤表示谴责。
潘基文反对一切针对平民的行动，呼吁有关各方保持最大限度的克制，避免又一轮流血冲突。他强调巴以应遵守去年１１月达成的停火共识。
潘基文再次强调，以巴双方应坚定遵循达成两国方案、永久结束暴力的承诺。
今年７月底，在美国斡旋下，巴以恢复了中断３年的和平谈判，共同计划在９个月之内就边界、安全、耶路撒冷、难民和犹太人定居点等问题达成协议，从而结束巴以长达６０多年的冲突。但之后以色列陆续在约旦河西岸和东耶路撒冷扩建６０００多套定居点住房，引起巴方强烈不满。
