[ 01/06/2011 - 09:46 AM ] ISTANBUL, (PIC)-- Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic Movement in 1948-occupied Palestine, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared war on all Muslims after he declared Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel.*
He ruled in a statement that he gave in Turkey as the country marked the anniversary of Israel's attack on the Freedom Flotilla that Israel would not be able attack the Freedom Flotilla II the second time around after the world's sharp response to the first attack that left nine Turks dead.
”I don't believe it will attack it as before, as the convoy consists of 20 ships, and there will be more than 1,000 people on those ships. We hope it will be a new beginning for Gaza after a month [when the flotilla arrives],” Salah said. ”As for my personal opinion, the freedom flotilla will reach its destination.”
With regard to the opening of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border, Salah said: “Egypt's opening of the crossing is an honorable position. Mubarak's former regime which was ousted by the people carried out a biased policy against the Palestinians.”
He said the crossing opening was tantamount to a blow to Israeli efforts to undermine the Palestinians in Gaza.
Salah expected that Israel would study ways to pressure Egypt** into not keeping the crossing open as it has so far rejected the decision. But he doubted that such efforts would succeed because the area is no longer under Israeli control.

* Why not Shaikh Raed? Muslims, are busy, the road to Jerusalem pass's through "Liberated Libya" (By Nato), and "Liberated Syria", (By Syrian 'brothers". - meeting in Antalia)
**The Zionist efforts succeeded: Egypt renews restrictions at Gaza crossing, "Despite political and economic uncertainty, Egypt remains a peace partner with Israel and a Sunni bulwark against a predatory Shiite Muslim regime in Tehran"
Thanks for Egypt "Brothers" who lost the compus.

Update:
Hamas dissatisfied with Rafah crossing
"... Hamas says Egypt only allowed people to cross on Saturday, when the crossing first opened, and Gaza's leaders consider this a failure on the state's part to carry out its obligations. They also accuse border guards of arbitrarily barring Gazans from crossing. But senior security officials in Egypt told Ma'an their state has fostered "unprecedented easements for Palestinian brothers" and that it has "stood up to Israel in order to open the Rafah crossing for good". An unnamed source told the agency that certain Palestinians had been barred from entering Egypt due to "security concerns", implying they are on a terror watch list or have been linked to illegal smuggling tunnels. Ma'an says the list of barred persons contains around 5,000 names...."
