It is hard to distinguish between Islamism, radicalism and terrorism in one and the same melting pot.
The main thing is they should clearly speak on the issue of recognizing the state of Israel.
It is important for the international community to make balanced moves in the present situation.

The main thing is to prevent the situation from deteriorating. The main goal over the next few months is to prevent a serious escalation in tensions [between Israel and Palestine], to give the parties a pause, to elaborate their positions taking into consideration electoral competition and then moving ahead on the path to implementing certain proposals.
We condemn such provocations on both sides. This is counterproductive and is only fanning tensions.
We call on them to adhere to prior agreements, to put an end to terrorist acts. And, of course, they must move to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Of course, it is also necessary to embark on the road toward recognition of Israel's right to exist.
We will encourage an advance of positions in line with the quartet.
