Strife continues in 12th day of Palestinian protests
Egypt: Israelis killing innocents
The Associated Press, Cairo and Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Egypt accused Israeli troops yesterday of indiscriminately shooting innocent Palestinians in the occupied territories and said their actions threatened prospects for peace in the Middle East… ‘President Hosni Mubarak and the Egyptian people have followed the bloody events taking place in the occupied Arab territories of Gaza and the West Bank with deep concern and strong resentment,’ said the statement, read by Information Minister Safwat el Sherif.
‘This is because Israel is using methods of repression and persecution, showing no regard for the lives of innocent people — old men, women and children — and violating its international obligations in a grievous manner that threatens the Middle East peace process.’”
