GAZA (PIC)– Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil one of the Hamas leaders welcomed on Sunday the visit to Gaza Strip of Catherine Ashton the European Union’s high representatives for foreign affairs.
He described the visit in a press release as “good” as long as it was followed by practical steps.
Bardawil hoped that the visit would herald an end to the political and economic blockade imposed on the Strip.
The Hamas leader meanwhile said that the western world should understand that Gaza is part and parcel of Palestine and that “we do not accept any solution that would isolate Gaza from the outside world”.
