Bush fired coup de grace to Palestinians - Rahmandoost

Secretary General of Society in Defense of Palestinian Nation (SDPN) said the U.S. president George W. Bush fired the last shot to the Palestinians after his Middle East's tour.

Mojtaba Rahmandoost said that in the past, Israeli aggressions were being carried out with the green light of the U.S. but this time Bush pushed the trigger in his Middle East tour and urged for the collective punishment of the Palestinians.

The aim of Israeli's attack to Gaza Strip is to ruin resistance, Rahmandoost added.

Responding to a question about his suggestion for lifting the siege of Gaza, Rahmandoost said the society as a major Iranian NGO in support of Palestine, would use all political potentials at hand in this regard.

"Popular movements can supplement any effort to press America and Israel to lift the siege and prevent the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, he suggested.
