Holmes condemned the Kassam fire, saying the real victims were the civilians, and that this was a violation of all principles of human rights. "We condemn absolutely the firing of these rockets. There's no justification for it. They are indiscriminate, there's no military target," he told The Associated Press. However, he said the only way to solve the problem was through a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. |
