Commenting on latest regional developments, the head of Arab League said 9/11 attacks were a pretext for Washington and the 'Zionist' entity to establish their presence in the region.

“They made the most out of this particular event. Invasion of Afghanistan, occupation of Iraq, assassination of Rafik Hariri as well as the ever-growing pressures on Iran and Syria are some of the most critical challenges facing the entire region,“ he said.

On the Arab League’s role in resolving these crises, Moussa said the Arab League’s current structure is in desperate need of reforms, admitting that the league has not been able to play an effective role in resolving any crisis or dispute in the region.

Asked about the American claim that they invaded Iraq to establish democracy and freedom, he noted that most human rights violations in Iraq took place at a time when Saddam was strongly supported by the Capitol Hill.

“The question is why US politicians did not think about democracy in Iraq after the Persian Gulf War when they liberated Kuwait? The attack on Iraq led to the massacre of innocent Iraqi civilians by the Baathist regime. Why is it that after ten years, they decided there is no democracy and freedom in Iraq?“ he wondered.

Questioned about attempts by certain Arab states and political groups to normalize ties with the 'Zionist' Israeli regime, Moussa said, “Israeli officials disregard all international treaties and even accuse me of obstructing the peace process in the Middle East. As long as Israel does not fulfill its obligations towards the rights and welfare of the Palestinian nation, any relations with it would be worthless.“

Warum wird mir der Generalsekretär der Arabischen Liga nur plötzlich so sympathisch ?!
