The AHLC is chaired by Norway and co-sponsored by the EU and the US. In addition, the United Nations participates together with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The AHLC seeks to promote dialogue between donors, the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel.

Statement by United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, on Friday’s attack in the occupied West Bank
Jerusalem, 14 October 2018
“I condemn this Friday’s attack in the occupied West Bank in which a Palestinian woman, Aisha Al-Rabi, a mother of eight, was killed and her husband injured by stones allegedly thrown by Israeli assailants.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Aisha and I wish a speedy recovery to her injured husband.
I take note that an investigation has been initiated and call on the Israeli authorities to ensure that those responsible are swiftly brought to justice.
Such attacks only seek to drag everyone into a new cycle of violence that would further undermine the prospects of peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
I urge all to condemn violence and stand up to terrorism.”
