Credit: Reuters/Mohammed Salem GAZA (Reuters) - Arab League chief Amr Moussa visited the Gaza Strip Sunday, the highest Arab official to do so since its seizure by Hamas Islamists in 2007, and called for an end to Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory. World Moussa crossed into the enclave from Egypt, two weeks after Israel's deadly interception of a Gaza aid flotilla. "This blockade...must be lifted and must be broken and the Arab League decision is very clear in this regard," Moussa said. Egypt had kept its Gaza border largely closed, bolstering Israel's embargo, since Hamas, which won a 2006 election, seized sole control of the Gaza Strip in a war with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction three years ago. But Cairo reopened its Rafah crossing with the enclave after Israeli marines killed nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists in a May 31 raid on a Turkish-flagged aid vessel where passengers with metal rods and knives confronted the boarding party. Palestinian and Arab League officials said Moussa's visit was also aimed at giving momentum to reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah that Egypt has sponsored but which have failed to bridge deep mistrust between the two rivals. In an apparent bid to avoid any impression of Arab League recognition of Hamas's Gaza takeover, Moussa met Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas government, in his home rather than in his office. "We see this visit as a practical step along the way toward breaking the siege," Haniyeh, with Moussa at his side, told reporters after their hour-long meeting. BLOCKADE DISCUSSIONS Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks on Friday with Middle East envoy Tony Blair on the blockade. Echoing an Israeli statement after that meeting, Netanyahu told reporters Sunday Israel would continue discussions with the international community to prevent weapons and military equipment from reaching Gaza and to allow in humanitarian aid, an apparent signal it was open to revising blockade procedures. Amid an international outcry over the bloodshed in the flotilla raid, Israel has faced mounting pressure to ease or lift a blockade critics have described as collective punishment. Meeting Sunday with members of his Likud party, Netanyahu said a retired Israeli Supreme Court justice, Jacob Turkel, would head a committee that Israel intends to establish to investigate the raid on the flotilla, officials said. Pending the outcome of consultations with the United States, Israel has not made any formal announcement of the composition of the committee, which Israeli officials said would likely include foreign observers. Washington has backed a U.N. Security Council statement that called for a "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation, conforming to international standards" into the Israeli naval interception. The White House has said it is open to different ways of ensuring the credibility of an Israeli-led investigation, including international participation. Israel has rejected any external, international board of inquiry, saying it had a right to launch a probe on its own. (Editing by Elizabeth Fullerton) World Comments See All Comments (5) | Post Comment Jun 13, 2010 7:09am EDT The claim that Tony B Liar is some kind of ‘Middle East Envoy” must surely be a joke. He single handedly sold out British workers, wroght destruction on the UK’s economy and plunged our army into a seemingly endless and unwinnable war in Afghanistan after having made a horrendous mess in Iraq. Who is he supposed to be representing? Tiu Report As Abusive Jun 13, 2010 7:39am EDT Thanks Tiu for mentioning this salient point regarding Tony Bliar. If he was an African or East European Leader he most likely would be defending himself against war crimes charges in the ICC at The Hague right now instead of pretending to be a motivator of peace. MalcolmX Report As Abusive Jun 13, 2010 8:55am EDT Imported Jews must to go back home to where they were brought from by the Zionists, they can fight for their rights there instead of trying to steal the Palestinian land. The Zionists created a myth that the Romans kicked the Jews out of Palestine and now they are coming back home!. In fact European Jews are Ashkenazi (east Europeans – converted Jews) with absolutely no link to Palestine or any place in the Middle-east. The original Jews have never left the region, they remained living in peace in their own land in the Arab World and Muslim World (Iran, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, etc.) until the Zionists disturbed the peace with their propaganda. Imported Jews must go back to their countries of origin so the legitimate owners (Palestinian Refugees)of the land (Palestine) can go back to it!!! Amomani Report As Abusive Jun 13, 2010 9:31am EDT Yes Amomani,the Ashkenazi are dececendants of the Kazhars an East European tribe that converted to Judaism around 10th century. Bibi’s kin are Lithuanian,maybe he can go back? US can mail welfare check there! According to the Christian Science Monitor,the cost of Israel to the American TAXpayer has been over $1.6 TRILLION since 1973.http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1209/p16s01-wmgn.html GOLUM Report As Abusive Jun 13, 2010 10:39am EDT Tiu in the first comment to this article at Jun 13, 2010 7:09am EDT asks who Tony Blair is representing. The answer is obvious; Balair – like many of his fellow leaders is a puppet of the Israel. boreal Report As Abusive See All Comments (5) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
