Hollande: Escalation of Israeli-Palestinian conflict requires urgent action

French President Francois Hollande stated that the escalation of the situation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is "extremely dangerous" and requires urgent political measures.

According to him, the escalation of violence in the Palestinian territories and in Jerusalem is extremely alarming and dangerous, which is why everything possible should be done to put an end to this episode, which has already led to numerous victims.

"This new deterioration of the situation also confirms the urgent need to recreate the political horizon. France has been working on this for many months and will spare no effort in this direction," TASS quotes him as saying.
