CAIRO (PIC)– Amre Mousa the secretary general of the Arab League did not rule out that the Israeli occupation forcers might assassinate Ismail Haneyya the premier of the PA caretaker government in Gaza.
Addressing a press conference in Cairo on Saturday Mousa hoped that the news report was not true and that politics would not reach that extent of “criminality”.
Hebrew press quoted senior sources in the Israeli security cabinet as saying that it passed a decision last week to assassinate Haenyya who is also a prominent Hamas leader.
It added that Israeli war minister Ehud Barak was the one championing the idea and that American president George Bush had agreed provided that it would take place after his visit to the Hebrew state.
Mousa also said that the Arab foreign ministers would hold an emergency meeting in Cairo in the first week of January 2008 at the request of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to discuss the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations and the political developments in Lebanon and Iraq.
The secretary general criticized Israel for expanding settlements in the occupied Palestinian lands adding that it would wipe out any hope for peace.
