<p>CAIRO, (PIC)&#8211; Arab League  Secretary-General Amr Moussa said it was decided that the United Nations  Arab group would ask for a meeting of the UN Security Council aimed at  stopping the Israeli aggression and enforcing a no-fly zone over Gaza.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Arab League has also asked the UN,  Security Council and the Quartet to shoulder responsibilities in  stopping the ongoing attack and to help protect the unarmed Palestinians  in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Arab League held an emergency meeting  Sunday that included its permanent delegates headed by the Sultanate of  Oman and attended by the Secretary-General Amr Moussa.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The council called on the world community  to take necessary measures to deter Israel from continuing the attacks  and to prosecute Israeli war criminals and bring them to justice.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">It also emphasized the need to end the  siege and the Gaza Strip and open all border crossings to and from the  region through a ”crossings agreement”.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Palestinian government headed by Ismail  Haneyya has praised the Arab League&#8217;s response to requests for an  emergency meeting to discuss the tensions that have been running high  since Thursday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The government has expressed hope that the  meeting would produce effective mechanisms to end the attacks and called  on the Arab leaders and people to launch political and media campaigns  in order to exert pressure on Israel.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Dr. Ahmed Bahr, the Deputy Speaker of the  Palestinian Legislative Council, had called on the Arab League to take a  responsible and courageous stand against the Israeli violence, saying:  ”We don&#8217;t want condemnation and denunciation, but rather we want  decisions on the ground and an end to the siege and reconstruction [of  the Gaza Strip].”</p>
