Deputy Spokesperson, Office of
the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
November 14, 2012
We strongly condemn the barrage of rocket fire
from Gaza into southern Israel, and we regret the death and
injury of innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians caused
by the ensuing violence. There is no justification for the
violence that Hamas and other terrorist organizations are
employing against the people of Israel. We call on those
responsible to stop these cowardly acts immediately. We
support Israel’s right to defend itself, and we encourage
Israel to continue to take every effort to avoid civilian
casualties.
Hamas claims to have the best interests of the Palestinian people at heart, yet it continues to engage in violence that is counterproductive to the Palestinian cause. Attacking Israel on a near daily basis does nothing to help Palestinians in Gaza or to move the Palestinian people any closer to achieving self determination.
