Israel Tells Abbas And Arab States: “We’re Going Into Gaza”
J-Post:
Israel has informed PA authorities in Ramallah of its intention to send the IDF into the Gaza Strip in order to regain control of the Philadelphi Corridor and put an end to Hamas smuggling of weapons and cash through tunnels from the Egyptian side of the border, the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Friday morning.
According to the report, Israel has told a number of Arab states that after the November 26 Annapolis conference it intends to embark on an extensive operation in the Strip.
Palestinian sources received explicite information stating that during the projected first stage of the operation, Israel is determined to gain control of Rafah and areas along the Egyptian border ranging as far as Khan Yunis, the paper said. The second stage will reportedly include an incursion into the central and northern Gaza Strip.
According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi’s sources, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who rejected out of hand Israel’s plan to recapture the Philadelphi Corridor, intends to send emissaries to regional countries in an effort to convey the sense of urgency regarding the danger of an Israeli incursion.
Abbas, the paper said, will state that an Israeli incursion would destroy the Gaza Strip and its infrastructure.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

“Abbas, the paper said, will state that an Israeli incursion would destroy the Gaza Strip and its infrastructure.”
Again, the Arab aggressor attempts to use the spin tactic to become the victim. I can’t even imagine having the patience and restraint the Israelis have exhibited for so long.

These are the same people that danced in the streets when some 3000 americans were executed on 9/11
