Mashaal appeals for aid of Arab brethren

Hamas Political Bureau Chief Khaled Mashaal called on Egypt and other Arab nations on Tuesday to support the Palestinian people and work towards ending the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.

"We ask of our brothers in Egypt and all the Arab countries to stand by our side to break the Israeli siege," said Mashaal in an interview with IRNA.

 
Mashaal said the Palestinians expect this of the Arab world and that now would be the best possible time to extend that help.
