20 May 2009 OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The
Hebrew radio on Monday revealed that the Israeli
Knesset will discuss soon a draft law introduced by
member of the Zionist national union party Aryeh Eldad
calling for considering Jordan the Palestinian state.
The radio quoted Eldad as saying that this law
would ensure Israel’s security and meet the
international community’s calls for giving the
Palestinians a state.
The Zionist national union party, which is
considered one of the most ultra-extremist Israeli
parties, had distributed in December 2002 leaflets
among Palestinian passengers traveling across Al-Karama
bridge on the Jordanian borders urging them to stay in
Jordan as their existing state in which they could
live away from the occupation.
The leaflet, written in Arabic and Hebrew, read:
“We wish you a safe trip to the existing Palestinian
state where the Palestinians constitute 75 percent of
its population. You have taken the right step when you
decided to join your brothers; in your new state, you
will not suffer from the occupation, and you will be
able to nominate yourselves and elect your own
parliament…As part of a regional plan, your economy,
agricultural, infrastructure and waters will be
developed with international assistance.”
In another context, Yemeni MP Abdullah Khairan on
Sunday stated that the Arab peace initiative did not
receive any positive response from the Israeli
occupation, but rather it responded with more killings
and violations against the Palestinians.
During the Palestinian cultural days held in Sana’a
in the framework of the Yemeni popular campaign to
celebrate Jerusalem as the capital of Arab culture for
2009, MP Khairan strongly denounced some Arab leaders
for receiving Israeli officials in their countries
while Gaza still suffers from the repercussions of the
unjust Israeli war.
The Yemeni lawmaker stressed that the Palestinian
right of return is a legitimate right guaranteed by
all international conventions and laws, calling on
Muslims to help the Palestinians to return to their
usurped land by all means possible.
Death of infant increases number
of siege victims to 333
A month-old Palestinian baby boy died of lung
problems after his parents could not to take him for
treatment outside the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli
siege, the Palestinian health ministry said in a
statement.
The statement on Monday said that Uday Abu Zum from
Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, was suffering acute
problems in his lungs after his birth.
Doctors tried to save his life but seriousness of
his condition and non availability of special medical
equipment to treat his case aborted their attempts,
the ministry explained, adding that Uday's death
raised the number of patients dying in Gaza due to the
siege to 333.
It asked the free, honorable world to stand by the
seriously ill Palestinian patients in the besieged
Strip and to end the "terrible silence" towards the
Israeli "criminal" siege of the Strip.
Time is passing by and the lives of those patients,
who died due to the suffocating blockade, would remain
haunting all those who remained silent toward this
oppressive siege, the ministry concluded.
