GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Ahmed Bahar, the acting speaker of the PLC, stated Sunday that the truce with the IOF must be simultaneous with lifting the siege on Gaza and opening its crossings, pointing out at the same time that the Israeli captive soldier will not be released until Israel releases Palestinian prisoners.
During a march organized by the Wa'ed society for prisoners in solidarity with Dr. Aziz Dweik, the PLC speaker imprisoned in Israeli jails, Dr. Bahar highlighted that Hamas would not give Israel free calm without lifting its siege on the Gaza people.
In another context, the acting speaker invited PA chief Mahmoud Abbas to come to Gaza to start immediate comprehensive dialog to restore national unity and face of Zio-American schemes.
He also called on him to stop meeting with Israelis in consideration for the blood of Palestinian martyrs, the suffering of prisoners and the besieged citizens in Gaza.
The acting speaker strongly denounced the trials held in Israeli courts against speaker Dweik, describing these trials as puppet plays and a violation of the fourth Geneva convention and human rights.
In another context, Israeli media sources said that the Israeli mini-cabinet postponed a meeting scheduled to be held on Sunday to discuss the calm issue until next week after the return of Israeli premier Ehud Olmert from US.
The sources noted that the reason for deferring the meeting is the lack of progress in the contacts with Egypt regarding the truce with Hamas.
An opinion poll conducted by the Mada'im center for scientific research in the Israeli Ben Gurion university revealed that 75 percent of the Israelis living in the settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip support the efforts made by Egypt to broker a truce agreement between Hamas and Israel.
The poll stated that a large number of settlers believe that the Egyptian mediation is the only optimal solution to stop the rocket attacks after the Israeli government failed to stop them.
