Carl Bildt condemns terrorist attack in Eilat

"I condemn today's terrorist attack in Eilat, Israel. Violence that targets civilians is totally unacceptable."

"The infighting among Palestinian groups is claiming more and more victims. Palestinian leaders must therefore take their responsibility and quickly find a way to resolve the crisis using peaceful means."

"The increasing violence is impeding efforts to resume peace negotiations."
