Israel Navy ship and 'Rachel Corrie' aid ship

Kuwaiti paper says Egypt denied Israeli request to prevent Gaza aid ships from passing through Suez Canal.

Egypt rejected Israel’s request not to assist the Iranian ships slated to sail to the Gaza Strip in the coming days, Kuwaiti paper al-Dar reported on Friday. The report was not confirmed by any official Egyptian elements.

Facts regarding the Iranian flotilla to Gaza are vague and shrouded in mystery. As of yet, it is unclear whether the ships have already set sail, and the number of people on deck is unknown.

At the start of the week Iranian state radio reported that the first ship has already set sail and that another ship was slated to leave this weekend.

According to the Iranian Red Crescent, the ships are carrying humanitarian aid including gifts for the children of Gaza, baby cloths, toys and dolls.

The Kuwaiti report, which cites Egyptian sources, said the officers of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak appealed to Egyptian Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman and asked he prevent the passage of Iranian ships through the Suez Canal.

The Israeli sources argued in their request that Iran supports the Hamas organization, which is a terror group that also operates against the Egyptian authorities.

According to the paper’s sources, the Egyptians rejected the Israeli request, and stressed in their response that, due to the international agreements on movement through the Suez Canal, Egypt cannot prevent any ship from sailing through it, unless it is a ship belonging to a state that is at war with Egypt, which is not the case with Iran.

The sources added that Cairo does not wish to be perceived as standing in the way of international organizations and Arab and Islamic states’ desire to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people and break the Israeli siege on the Strip.

Meanwhile, the al-Dar report also cited sources from Iran’s Interest Section in Egypt as saying that Cairo has issued entry visas for hundreds of Iranian citizens who has requested to accompany the ships in a land convoy.

The visas permit entry to the Strip via Rafah crossing for Iranian Red Crescent teams and humanitarian aid volunteers.

    • Patrick, I can see what an uneducated, racist liar you are.

      If you for one would be interested in finding the origins of the Jews, which is majority Israelite according to all recent genetic studies and not spew out lies about the disproven Khazar theory. You are probably more Khazar than any jew as khazars as many other people mixed with local europeans. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/59938/title/Tracing_Jewish_roots

      Quite funny theories you have about the “Jewish racists”. It’s almost like Hitler saying that the jews are racists for being killed in the holocaust.

      Well, well, teaching a nazi truth is like teaching an old dog to sit…

  4. Oh great! Iran send humanitarian aid to our fellow human beings.
    It is about time someone on the planet stand up again genocide and was willing to risk life and limb to rescue women men and children.
    Lucifer will try and oppose you with his fast almost without end Global-Powers. But it is up to you anchored in faith to more forward boldly in the Spirit to take the moral high ground and do the right think.
    Even if the world slanders you, commits character assassination, and works its filthy rich CIA and Mossad to create riots in your home country and instill a new puppet government in Iran the land of the free.

    By the way people reading this, Iran has one of the largest Hebrew population in the world. They have been there since the Old Testament, because Daniel was friends with the Persian King, and the Persians like the Hebrews. God’s children are being safely protected by Iran until God calls them home. (check out and do research on Hebrews living in Iran) They love there host country and will die to defend it. These Hebrews are not Islam, but bilieveing Hebrews in Yahwea.

    Jews are not Hebrews, Jews are Khazars. Khazars according to there homelands in the Bible are Magog.
    Also, alot of Lebanese are Hebrews and so are about 35% of all so called Palestinians. Palestinians are not really Philistines, they are all dead. A Roman Emperor named them that to try and vanquesh there Hebrew heritage.
    Lucifer is always out to do that. He wants us all to play a hand in killing as many Hebrews as possible.
    And to worship his synagogues of Satan as the Bible so clearly calls them.
    Revelation talks about all those in the end times that claim to be Hebrews but are not. And that God will cast them down by his sword.

    Also, Hamas is a Democratically elected party by the majority of the people. That is like calling Democrats or Republicans terrorist. Oh wait, those two are legitimate terrorist organizations. Hamas is the government in which “The People” have entrusted with there protection against foreign invaders. And they are doing there best. But this story has happened a few times before in the Bible.
    It is David VS Goliath all over again. The fake Israel with 400+ Nuclear weapons and Stealth Mach 2 Fighter Bomber against those with stones and primitive small arms weapons

    People join the US Constitution Party. Bring all of our troops home. Lets bless Jesus again, and then we will be blessed by His hand.
