Egypt warns Europe against sending warships to Gaza
Egypt warned European countries on Tuesday that sending warships to patrol the waters off the Gaza Strip could strain ties with the Palestinians and Arab countries. Speaking to reporters after meeting EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said he had urged European ministers in Brussels on Sunday to consider "Arab feelings" on such a deployment. "They must understand Arab and Muslim feelings," Abul Gheit said he told the ministers. "We don't envision European countries placing naval units in Palestinian territorial waters, to perform a task that is Israel's responsibility," he said.
