GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Aziz Al-Dweik, the speaker of the Palestinian legislative council (PLC), has said that the operation cast lead launched by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) against Gaza and the cast steel wall being built on the Gaza borders by Egypt were two faces of one coin.

Dweik was speaking in a recorded statement at the PLC headquarters in Gaza on Saturday while its members there were marking the first anniversary of the IOF bombardment of the premises.

He said that all attempts to besiege the Palestinian people would not bear the targeted fruit.

Barhoum: Zionist escalation, steel wall meant to pressure Hamas

GAZA, (PIC)-- The recent spate of Israeli escalation of military attacks on the Gaza Strip affirms continuation of Israel's aggression and its intent on strangling the Strip encouraged by the world's silence, Fawzi Barhoum, the Hamas's spokesman, said on Saturday.

He told the PIC that the Arab and Islamic inaction in face of the Israeli attacks and tightened siege on Gaza would further encourage the "Zionist enemy" to go ahead in its attacks and commit more crimes and massacres.

The spokesman stressed that the Arab regimes should be quick to break the siege on Gaza and use all pressure cards on the "Zionist entity".

Barhoum said that the Egyptian construction of the underground steel wall along the borders with Gaza harmonizes with the Israeli siege and contributes in tightening the noose on one and a half million Palestinians.

He charged that such a scenario is meant to pressure Hamas and the Palestinian people into giving concessions in service of the "Zionist enemy's' goals".
