\n

\t<\/span>The following statement was issued today by the Office of the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan:<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>The Secretary-General is concerned by the announcement earlier today by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) that it has established a closed military zone in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territory.  The creation of such a zone will impose additional restrictions on the Palestinians' movement.  It is a unilateral and provocative act, contrary to the signed agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, and it can only undermine ongoing efforts to find a way out of the present crisis.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>While Israel has a legitimate concern for its security, such concerns can, in the end, only be satisfied through a decisive effort to reach a peaceful settlement to the conflict, in accordance with Security Council resolutions <\/span>242<\/a> and <\/span>338<\/a>.  An early and productive meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and President Yasser Arafat would be an important step in this direction.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
