Haneyya cables Arab leaders, urging them to break the siege
October 19, 2006
Gaza - PA premier Ismail Haneyya has sent urgent cables to a number of Arab leaders asking them to break the siege imposed on the Palestinian people and to extend badly needed financial assistance to his people.
The cables, which also came to congratulate those leaders on the Muslim holy feast of Eidul Fitr that follows the fasting month of Ramadan, pointed to the harsh living conditions of the Palestinians as a result of the "oppressive siege and the Israeli occupation forces' aggressions".
Haneyya said the siege would be only lifted with Arab backing, affirming importance of rallying Arab, Islamic and international efforts to check the IOF ceaseless aggressions on the Palestinians.
A press release by the PA premier's office said that the cables were sent to the rulers of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Yemen and Algeria.
Haneyya had also made numerous telephone contacts with Arab leaders asking them to extend urgent financial assistance to help pay wages of civil servants.
Meanwhile, the premier, at a ceremony late Tuesday to mark the start of a huge industrial venture in Gaza, stressed that a national unity government should be formed on the basis of the national document and not according to American dictates.
He noted that despite the economic and political blockade yet the Strip was witnessing the launching of that giant project, and extended thanks to the Arab fund for development for financing that venture.
The 5.5 million dollar project would be constructed on an area of 300 dunums and would provide work for around 7,000 workers.
