Calls for truce as Gaza deaths rise
Dec. 30 - Egypt's President, Hosni Mubarak calls on Israel to end its attacks on Gaza as Spain calls for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza.
Palestinians injured in Israeli airstrikes continue to be taken to hospitals in Egypt through the Rafah border crossing as Egypt's President, Hosni Mubarak calls on Israel to end its attacks on Gaza. But Egypt said it would not open border crossings completely because that would facilitate Israel's plan to divide Gaza from the Occupied West Bank. Penny Tweedie reports.
SOUNDBITES:
"I say with all honesty and conviction that the right to resist occupation is a just and legitimate right but the resistance will always be responsible to its people that will judge for or against it according to the gains it will achieve for its causes or according to the destruction it brings and the waste of the lives of martyrs."
"I want to ask, as we have formally done already, an immediate cease fire. To ask Hamas to stop sending Qassam missiles to Israeli territory and Israel to stop bombings on Gaza and therefore military intervening in Gaza. Secondly, to ask the return to the negotiations table and to political and diplomatic dialogue which is ultimately the only possible way to face the region's future."
