” “"I support the goal of the Israeli Government to free the kidnapped soldiers and protect the citizens from the terrorist attacks, but the methods are inappropriate and counterproductive": the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, the English Terry Davis, spoke from Strasbourg to comment the escalation of the conflict between Israelis and Hezbollah. According to Davis, "the deliberate destruction of the infrastructures in the Gaza Strip, the indiscriminate retaliation that is affecting civilians and the military operations against non-military installations in nearby Lebanon" will do nothing for the release of the captive soldiers, "nor will they prevent future terrorist attacks against Israel". "I am afraid such methods concludes the Secretary General of the CoE may further destabilise the situation of the region and undermine the weak prospects of a peaceful political solution, which is in the interest of Israelis and Palestinians, as well as in the interest of the neighbouring countries in the Middle East". ” “
