ISRAEL & PALESTINE: ‘Security Council calls for calm following deadly Gaza clashes; diplomats debate US embassy move’, UN News Centre,15 May 2018

'For the people of Gaza, yesterday was a day of tragedy,' said the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, briefing the Council. He said, at least 60 people - including six children - were killed and more than 1,300 were injured on Monday in the Palestinian enclave occupied by Israel, whose troops fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters assembling along the perimeter fence. 'Israel has a responsibility to calibrate its use of force, to not use lethal force, except as a last resort, under imminent threat of death or serious injury... It must protect its borders from infiltration and terrorism, but it must do so proportionally.'
