Only a partial report of what he said - we await the full text

What he also said was:
"He told them he had come to the region for the sixth time to express his support for the renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. "I have never been this optimist," he said, adding that the international community had never had such expectations and hope that the peace process would reach a solution.
"This time, I expect real peace," the UN head said, urging both sides ''to be patient'' and adding that negotiations are still the best way to reach a two-state solution. "The Israeli and Palestinian people are neighbors and have no choice but to live in harmony and peace, side by side."

"He urged Israel to overcome its skepticism and the Palestinians to unify, in order to achieve two states living in peace – three states would be unacceptable."

Bias against Israel has been recognised as a fact for decades, it has also been recognised that that bias is a direct result of Israeli aggressive policy.
Ky moon's statement makes it clear that any present bias has arisen from the Middle East conflict.
This is why the present peace talks are so vital, and it is also why Israeli policy of continued expansion of settlements while the talks are in progress can only be seen as a deliberate attempt to scuttle those talks - (another indication of this is the refusal of the Two Stooges to even attempt to mention, let alone justify that expansion.
Once more - as the man said:   
"The Israeli and Palestinian people are neighbors and have no choice but to live in harmony and peace, side by side."
