The top United Nations envoy to Israel and the Palestinian territories is welcoming the cease-fire in the latest war between Israel and the Hamas group that rules Gaza.
Tor Wennesland said early Friday on Twitter that he extends his ``deepest condolences to the victims of the violence & their loved ones.''
He also thanks Egypt and Qatar for their work with the U.N. in brokering the deal that ended 11 days of fighting.
He adds that now ``the work of building (hash)Palestine can start.''
