what the u.n. would like to see is no further escalation in the problem of tensions in the middle east, because escalation is a slippery slope, and the only consequence, as i've said in my statement, released yesterday, the only consequence would be more death, more destruction, more misery, which i believe nobody wants. it does not serve the international community nor even those who are directly involved in the conflict, then that should be the case. we need instead really to be focusing in a very constructive way in getting a cease-fire in gaza. getting a cease-fire in gaza. that should be where our main priorities lie at this point in time, in order to ensure that there is no further bloodletting in gaza, and that all the remaining hostages are released, unconditionally, immediately. annabelle: are there any -- haidi: are there any further measures available to the united nations, both regarding a cease-fire and improving situations in gaza but also what the reaction would be if there is a furt
