The Arab "Summit"
"Lawmaker Jamal aL-Khudary, chairman of the Gaza popular committee for breaking the Israeli siege, appealed to the due Arab states summit in Damascus to focus on possible ways to lift the Israeli closure on Gaza, enforced since last June.
During a speech in a youth rally in Gaza city, in protest of the siege, aL-Khudari called on the Arab states leaders to use their leverage to help lift the siege, Israel has been enforcing on Gaza since June of last year.
He appealed to Egypt to reopen the Rafah crossing terminal in southern Gaza Strip, at least for emergency needs such as medical care of patients and entry of essential supplies made scarce due to the Israeli closure of Gaza's crossings.
aL-Khudari, an independent member of parliament, maintained that the Palestinian people in Gaza have been living under extremely harsh economic conditions, as they have been deprived of basic commodities and raw materials because of the 'crippling closure'.
" this rally is sending out a message from the youth of Gaza to those of the Arab/ Islamic world and the international community that the Palestinian people are in need of your solidarity", aL-Khudary told the rally.
The said activity is not the first as Gaza has witnesses many protests against Israel's actions on Gaza since the Israeli military enforced a tight closure on the Mediterranean Strip, after the Islamist Hamas took it over in June of last year. "

Many of those "leaders" are active participants in the siege: Egypt in particular as well as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE and others. How can you appeal to your own torturers??
