High-pocrisy
The world has such a short memory:
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Egypt’s foreign minister called on Israel Wednesday to follow its withdrawal from Gaza by launching final status negotiations with the Palestinians and halting the expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit told the U.N. General Assembly’s annual ministerial meeting that until Israel reaches the goal of a complete withdrawal from Palestinian territories, it also should stop building the West Bank separation barrier and improve the humanitarian situation of Palestinians.
“As we welcome the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and few settlements in the northern part of the West Bank, we also call upon the Israeli government to continue the withdrawal of its troops from all the Palestinian territories,” he said.
Aboul Gheit, who previously served as Egypt’s U.N. ambassador, called on Israel to meet all its commitments under the road map peace plan so Arabs and Israel can reach their common goal - “the establishment of two independent states, Palestinian and Israel, coexisting in peace and security.”
From 1948 to 1967, the Gaza Strip was part of what country? Say it with me now: EGYPT!
Funny how the Egyptians didn’t think Gaza deserved to be part of its own state back then.
