Arab ministers meet over Gaza attacks

Arab foreign ministers will hold an emergency meeting this weekend to forge a response to the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 50 people in the past few days, the head of the Arab League said today.

Secretary General Amr Moussa said he called the meeting for Sunday at the request of the Palestinians and Lebanon to “look into practical steps and measures to deal with the Israeli ongoing and recurrent aggression on the Palestinian people, the latest of which is the Beit Hanoun massacre.”
