Al Khudary added that this step would resemble a great importance towards breaking the unjust Israeli siege on Gaza. He also said that after the international activists sailed to Gaza in spite of the Israeli siege and managed to deliver some aid to the residents, and after Egypt opened the crossing for two days to enable thousands of residents to travel, the atmosphere became ready for a visit by Arab foreign ministers to Gaza. Al Khudary added that Egypt’s call for a Palestinian national dialogue and its efforts to achieve truce and reconciliation between all factions are well appreciated and welcomed by the Palestinian people. On November 12, 2006, the Arab foreign ministers held a meeting a decided to break the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip. The decision was never implemented and the Gaza Strip continues to suffer from a strict Israeli siege that affected all aspects of life and led to the death of more than 245 patients, including infants. Al Khudary called on the Arab nations to consider the Holy month of Ramadan as the month of breaking the siege against all Palestinians. |
