Stances of UN, US, AL, Arab Leaders…A Déjà Vu?


Al-Manar

"28/12/2008 …For the Palestinians being massacred in the Gaza Strip, this is a déjà vu, especially that Arab leaders are in a hurry to hold a summit to address the Israeli attacknext Friday.

The UN Security Council on Sunday called in a non-binding statement, that neither mentioned Israel nor Hamas, for an immediate end to all “military activities” in the Gaza Strip and urged the parties to address the humanitarian crisis in the territory......

"We strongly condemn the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said. Washington blesses the offensive but calls on Israel to avoid civilians, something the Zionist entity has failed to do since its creation on the corpses of Palestinians in 1948.

The Arab League is meanwhile mulling an “urgent meeting” to address the attack on Gaza, but the “League” is apparently not in a hurry. According to Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit, a meeting of AL Foreign Ministers is set to be held in Cairo Wednesday. The permanent representatives in the Arab League agreed to hold an “urgent” Arab summit in Doha next Friday. Sources told Al-Manar that the Egyptian representative expressed reservation with regards to the summit. Hussam Zaki, the spokesman of Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said that FM Ahmed Abul Gheit has been working with his Arab counterparts to hold an Arab FMs meeting during which discussions will take place into an urgent Arab summit and whether there is need for such summit or not!........."
