Foreign Adviser Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury reiterated his call on yesterday for "complete cessation of Israeli hostilities" in Gaza.

He said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged cease-fire and "we entirely endorse his urgings".

"Further deaths of innocents and destructions of property is totally unacceptable" the Foreign Adviser said.

"Peace in Palestine is essential for global stability which today is seriously threatened because of the events in Gaza", Dr. Iftekhar Chowdhury further stated.
