United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk condemned on Tuesday the 'incitement rhetoric' prevailing in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. This statement comes amid escalating tensions in the region. Turk emphasized that such rhetoric only exacerbates violence and the suffering of civilians. He called on the conflicting parties to immediately halt hostile statements and return to dialogue. The international community, he said, must exert pressure on the parties to de-escalate the situation.
