GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian international campaign to end the siege on Gaza on Thursday welcomed the preparations for sending the biggest ever fleet of aid ships to the Gaza Strip.

The campaign in a statement hailed the efforts of Arab and foreign solidarity activists in preparing for the fleet despite the Israeli occupation authority's threats and aggressive practices.

It noted that solidarity activists and institutions in Canada, the USA, Europe, and Arab countries are preparing for sending huge relief assistance aboard this fleet.

Those activists affirm their backing for the Palestinian people's just demands in ending blockade on Gaza and opening all crossings before traffic of goods and individuals both ways, the campaign said.

It renewed, meanwhile, its call for an international transparent investigation into the Israeli crime against the Freedom Flotilla, adding that the UN Secretary General should assume his responsibility in protecting the aid ships and ensure their safe arrival to Gaza.

Jordanian aid convoy Ansar to join British Miles of Smiles on joint trip to Gaza

AMMAN, (PIC)-- The Jordanian organizers of the aid convoy Ansar which was denied entry into the Gaza Strip days ago by the Egyptian authorities said that Ansar would join the British convoy Miles of Smiles slated to head to the Strip in the next few weeks.

Organizers of Ansar convoy told a news conference on Wednesday that the British convoy invited them to join their trip to break the siege on Gaza.

In another context, Egyptian lawmaker Hamdi Hasan slammed the official Arab silence towards Israel's intention declared by its foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman to separate Gaza from Jerusalem and the West Bank and consider it as an independent entity.

Hasan added that Israel is acting according to a future vision supported by the US, while the Arab regimes have no vision to defend the Palestinian cause, warning that such Israeli plans would wipe out the Palestinian people's rights and national cause.

Israeli news reports had stated that many senior Israeli officials including Lieberman called for ending the two-state solution, declaring a Jewish state on all Palestine except Gaza and granting the Palestinians Israeli IDs as a minority.
