UN Special Envoy to the Middle East: 'I leave the Gaza Strip in an even worse situation than before'

Robert Serry spent seven years as the United Nations coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. He has just stepped down, delivering a gloomy final briefing to the UN Security Council. In an interview with FRANCE 24's Armen Georgian, he deplores the situation in Gaza as a collective failure. "I leave the Strip in an even worse situation than before I arrived in 2008", he says.

Robert Serry also calls for a renewed commitment to build the foundation of a sustainable Palestinian state. "We don't want to rebuild Gaza for the third time for it to be destroyed yet again", he explains.
