PRESS
STATEMEMNT
In a Press Conference held on 14th
July, 2014, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation,
Hon. Bernard Membe, on behalf of the Government of the United Republic of
Tanzania called on Israel and Hamas to ceasefire immediately, adding that The
United Nations Security Council should step in to restore harmony in the Middle
East.
The Government of the United Republic
of Tanzania wishes to reiterate this position and further condemns the ongoing
killings of innocent civilians among them elderly, women and children in Gaza.
The Government of the United Republic
of Tanzania calls upon the International Community to continue supporting
diplomatic efforts to end the conflict peacefully. Core to the solution of this conflict is
availing the people of Palestine the right to self-determination through the
establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
The Government of the United Republic
of Tanzania therefore maintains its support to the two-state solution with
Palestine and Israel co-existing in harmony and ensuring security of the State
of Israel.
