The Chilean government strongly condemns Israel's attacks on Gaza that have caused many victims, including civilians, women and children, and expresses its deep concern at the escalation of violence that exists in the Middle East.
The reproachable kidnappings and deaths of three young Israelis young and one young Palestine, cannot be an excuse to launch terrorist actions, nor to attack areas densely populated by civilians.
The Chilean government calls upon all stakeholders to establish truce and to respect international humanitarian law, preventing worsening of the conflict.
Chile endorses the call of the United Nations Secretary General for a comprehensive solution to this serious crisis, integrating the political, humanitarian, security and development spheres that permit peaceful coexistence of Israel and Palestine, with secure and internationally recognized borders.
