CAIRO (AFP) - Egypt's opposition Muslim Brotherhood said that any aggression on the Gaza strip would be "a threat to Egyptian national security," and called on Egypt to prevent such an attack.
"Any aggression on the Gaza Strip would constitute a threat to Egyptian national security and Egypt must therefore take all necessary measures to prevent an attack," Mohammed Mehdi Akef, the group's supreme guide, said in a statement.
Akef's comments come as thousands of Israeli troops were massed on the Gaza border poised for a possible offensive over the kidnapping of a teenage soldier.
On June 25, Palestinian gunmen attacked an Israeli checkpoint on the Gaza border, killing two Israeli soldiers and abducting a third.
"The Muslim Brotherhood calls on the Arab and Islamic people and civil society organizations and the peoples of the world to declare their rejection to any Zionist attempt to attack Gaza," said Akef, declaring that Friday will be a "day for solidarity with the Palestinian people and to show our anger over Zionist aggression." He did not provide details.
Akef described the Palestinian attack as a "legitimate resistance operation," adding that the abducted soldier should be considered a prisoner of war. "(We) call on the kidnappers of the Zionist soldier to consider him a prisoner of war, to be treated in a humane manner, as dictated by Islam and international agreements," said Akef.
And so, let us all remember how well the Palestinians of Ramallah treated the two IDF reserve soldiers who were held hostage by the Palestinian Authority. No doubt there’s special clause/hitch in the Koran that excuses Muslims from treating Jews in a “humane manner”.
No one, and not the least of which, did Yesef Avrahami or Vadim Novesche deserved the fate that was meted out to them by their Ramallah captors.
