UN chief Ban Ki-moon demanded an immediate end to the raging conflict in Gaza and Israel on Monday, during a visit to Cairo to push for a ceasefire.

The “violence must stop, it must stop now,” Ban said at a news conference.

“I urge all parties to stop violence unconditionally and return to dialogue,” he added.

Egypt had proposed a truce which Israel accepted and Hamas in Gaza spurned, saying they wanted guarantees that a blockade of the enclave will end.
