CAIRO, Jan 27 (NNN-MENA) – Arab League Secretary-General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, yesterday condemned in the strongest terms, an Israeli raid on Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp, that killed at least nine Palestinians.
Aboul Gheit follows the development in the occupied territories with great concern, and calls for the international community to protect the Palestinian people, said an Arab League statement.
The state of indifference encourages the occupying forces to commit more crimes under the leadership of a government with hardline plans, he added.
