US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield addressed a UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation in the Middle East today (Wednesday).
"The United States remains deeply concerned by the sustained violence in Israel and the West Bank. 2022 was the deadliest year since the Second Intifada. And 2023 is on track to surpass this staggering level of violence," Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield began.

"We continue to urge the parties to de-escalate, and to refrain from unilateral actions and unhelpful rhetoric that only serve to inflame tensions, especially as we approach the confluence of religious holidays in April.
"That’s why the United States joined the meeting in Aqaba on February 26, and the follow-on meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh on March 19th, with Israel, the Palestinians, and Jordan, and Egypt. We applaud the commitments of the parties and the steps taken to restore calm. These meetings are an affirmation that both sides can seek calm and find a way forward.

Palestinians doing what their culture demands, kill Jews. The US resuming financing the killers.
