Egypt to Liberate Gaza

Cairo will work “hand in hand” with the Palestinians for an end to Israel’s occupation of all territory seized in 1967. Egypt’s intelligence chief addressed Palestinian MP’ on Tuesday. Quote:
“… the pleasure … to convey the congratulations of … Mubarak and his commitment that we stay hand in hand with you until all Palestinian territory, in the West Bank and as well as Gaza, is liberated,” … Omar Suleiman said.

He said Egypt supported Palestinian efforts towards “the complete and total freedom of land occupied in 1967 to pave the way to the creation of a Palestinian state that will take its place in the Arab nation.”

“Our security cannot be guaranteed while you are being threatened. We cannot rejoice while you suffer. We will not be silent until you have recovered your legitimate rights,” he added.
