Kenya has joined the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in calling for diplomatic negotiations to achieve a solution to the escalating violence in Israel and Palestine.

The country, in the latest call for both sides to lay down arms, is warning that the resurgence of violence between Israel and Palestine will make it harder for them to reach a two-State solution.
