Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore - $name

In response to media queries on the ongoing situation in the Middle East, the MFA Spokesman said:

"We are seriously concerned about the escalating tension and deteriorating situation in the Middle East. Attacks by extremist forces on Israel have triggered a new cycle of violence and destabilised the region. We urge all parties including Israel to exercise restraint. We welcome the G8's call for political dialogue between all sides to resolve the crisis and to return to negotiating a sustainable peace for the Middle East."
