Official Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Hafez condemned the two shooting incidents that took place near Tel Aviv and resulted in the death of five people and the injury of others.
Hafez said that all acts of violence and terrorism targeting civilians only lead to a further deterioration of the situation between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed the total rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism, with the need to intensify the necessary efforts to maintain calm between the Palestinian and Israeli sides, and prevent slipping into vicious circles of violence.
He warned against the consequences of mutual escalation, which only perpetuates a climate of tension and frustration, and undermines the pillars of stability in the region.
