The UN’s Mideast envoy Tor Wennesland urged Israeli and Palestinian leaders to de-escalate the situation in Jenin and ensure humanitarian access and delivery of necessary medical and other supplies into the northern West Bank.
The Arab League also called on the UN Security Council to halt Israel’s aggression and provide protection for the Palestinian people.
The Arab League’s Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said on Monday that “the bombing of cities and camps by planes and the bulldozing of houses and roads is a collective punishment and revenge that will only lead to further detonation of the situation.”
He added that they are appealing to peace advocates around the world to intervene immediately to stop this sinister and criminal process.
In the same context, Egypt condemned Israeli police for storming Jenin's houses and demanded an immediate end to attacks on civilians.
According to reports, more than 1,000 soldiers and dozens of drones were taking part in the military operation in Jenin early Monday.
