Dr. Ahmed Al-Armouti, the head of the Jordanian delegation who was denied access to Gaza, denied that the Egyptian authorities facilitate the movement of goods and people into the besieged Gaza Strip and said that the humanitarian situation at the Rafah border crossing is very tragic.

In a news conference held on Wednesday in Amman, Dr. Armouti expressed his shock and dismay at the Egyptian government’s insistence on blockading Gaza while deceiving the whole world about its opening of Rafah crossing before anyone.

Armouti, who is the dean of Jordanian doctors, stressed that the Egyptian authorities have no legal right to prevent anyone to leave Egypt for any destination he wants, including Gaza.

China: Xinjiang crisis deepens

By John Chan

Heads of state at the G8 summit in Italy were taken by surprise yesterday when Chinese President Hu Jintao suddenly decided to return home to deal with the ongoing crisis in Xinjiang. Hopes that China could play an important role in discussions on the global financial crisis were punctured by developments in Xinjiang, which underscore the country’s escalating social tensions.

So far no world leader has publicly condemned the massive crackdown by Chinese security forces in Urumqi or challenged Beijing’s claim that its heavily-armed troops are there to maintain social order and prevent further ethnic conflict.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: “We know there is a long history of tension and discontent, but the most immediate matter is to bring the violence to a conclusion.” Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd declared: “[R]estraint is required now on the part of all parties in order to bring about a peaceful settlement to this difficulty.”

Abbas’s Palestinian Authority Betrayal of Palestine

The fact that Libya insisted on the Goldstone Report be debated at the UN Security Council and Abbas’ belated order to "investigate" the "mistake", cannot hide the PA’s complicity with Israel and USA to oppress its people.The threat to abort a massive Israeli-PA Watani cell-phone deal with Abbas’ son, was used to blackmail the PA if it did not do Israel’s bidding.
