Haneyya: We will continue to work hard to end the siege on Gaza people

"GAZA, (PIC)-- The PA caretaker government headed by premier Ismail Haneyya has said that it will continue to work hard to end the siege on Gaza, to alleviate the suffering of the people and to recover the inalienable national rights, calling on the Arab and Islamic peoples to continue their popular uprising until the siege is broken.

This came after the Palestinian government held an emergency meeting that started Thursday afternoon and ended at dawn Friday, during which the cabinet discussed the current developments following the popular removal of some parts of the Egyptian-Palestinian border walls and the pouring of thousands of citizens into Egyptian lands.

In a statement received by the PIC, the government asserted that if the PA leadership refused the invitation suggested by premier Ismail Haneyya to hold a meeting between all parties concerned in the government, the PA and the Egyptian leadership, the government would not stand passive until the siege devastates everything in Gaza, but would continue to work to end the siege and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people using all means available.

The government opined that the suffering and hardship experienced by the Palestinian people are the result of the arbitrary agreements signed by the PA entourage which also led to the Israeli military escalation.

The Palestinian government expressed its appreciation of the urgent human assistance provided by the Egyptian people to their brothers in Gaza, calling on the Arab peoples to provide their support as quickly as possible to the besieged Palestinian people in the Strip.

In related context, premier Ismail Haneyya met in his office Friday afternoon with an Egyptian delegation including MPs and notables who came to the Gaza Strip to express their support for the Palestinian people in their battle for freedom.

The premier appreciated the positions of Egypt in support of the Palestinian people, adding that the Palestinian people would not accept less than ending the siege on the Gaza Strip and would not accept partial solutions."
