UN's Ban: Illegal deliveries of rockets to Hamas must stop

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told an Austrian newspaper in remarks due for publication on Tuesday that "the most important thing right now is ensuring that there are no illegal deliveries of rockets and weapons to Hamas" and "free access and freedom of movement in Gaza".
Ban thought the Gaza crisis also showed "the status quo is no option" and urged a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks stalled since 2010, though Hamas has had no role in those negotiations as it rejects any recognition of Israel.
