15/01/2010 Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called on Egypt on Friday to stop building an underground wall along its border with Gaza, which the Resistance group believes would put further strain on the isolated enclave.
"We call on the Egyptian leadership to stop building the steel wall along its border with the Gaza Strip," Meshaal said as he was delivering a speech via video link before the Arab and International Forum for Supporting the Resistance at the UNESCO Palace in Beirut.
"A wall (is erected) between enemies and not between brothers," he said. "How can the 'national security' of any state be used as an excuse to build a wall between Arab brothers?" he asked.
Earlier on Friday, Meshaal said that the issue of the arms outside the refugee camps should be discussed and stressed there is no authority above the authority of state.
Following talks with Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Meshaal said he discussed with the PM the civil rights of Palestinians in Lebanon and stressed the necessity of reaching an understanding on this issue.
Meshaal arrived in Beirut on Friday for talks with top Lebanese officials that will mainly center on the al-Liwaa daily reported.
