PRESS STATEMENT
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.

support to the two-state solution with Palestine and Israel co-existing
in harmony and ensuring security of the State of Israel.
