"It is extremely important that a solution to the current crisis be found by Friday," Nickolay Mladenov told news hounds on Monday after briefing the UN Security Council behind closed doors.

"The dangers on the ground will escalate if we go through another cycle of Friday prayer without a resolution to this current crisis."
The dangers on the ground won't significantly escalate for the Israelis, but only for for those Muslim-Israelis and Muslim-Palestinians who insist on having temper tantrums.
Also on Monday, the UK's ambassador to the UN has called on "all parties to denounce violence".
That statement was an utter waste of expelled carbon dioxide.
Matthew Rycroft told news hounds at the UN headquarters in New York City that it was important that the whole Security Council "stands together to do what we can to help bring peace to the Middle East".
