Mousa: Palestinian spilling blood is unacceptable Written by Egypt News Monday, 01 September 2008 The continued Palestinian divide has crossed several red lines and cannot continue. The spilling of Palestinian blood on an internal level is unacceptable, said Amr Mousa, the Secretary General of the Arab League
Mousa explained that the issue will be seriously discussed among foreign ministers at the next Arab League council meeting slated for the eighth of this month.





While speaking with the press on Sunday he said that the matter was in the hands of Palestinian parties, but wondered aloud, “Why is this conflict ongoing when there is yet no state?”
The proposal to send Arab forces to Gaza, which still all Palestinian parties, except Fateh, reject, is again being proposed. Mousa said, “There are many ideas about what to do. When it was proposed by the Egyptian Foreign Minister it was in the form of a question. There is no need for this right now. It’s really not required at this time.”
He said that within the framework of the internal conflict there is little to do concerning the Palestinian situation under Israeli occupation. Mousa said that everything depends on the internal reconciliation, which “cannot remain at a standstill.”
The Secretary General continued to say that among Palestinian rights is to have the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip linked and that the internal conflict between Gaza and Ramallah is exacerbating the problem of the division that comes from Israeli occupation.
“It is time to follow up and conclude the issue of internal reconciliation, decide the basic needs of the Palestinian people and how to guarantee their rights and ensure a Palestinian state. The internal divide bears a heavy responsibility for the current state of affairs and if there is any more spilling of Palestinian blood on the internal level it will not be tolerated.”
Asked about the role of the Arab League in the reconciliation process, Mousa said there is now a process underway sponsored by Egypt. “It must be given a full opportunity, but full opportunity does not mean months.
