The Palestinian Prime Minister, Ismail Haneyya, said that the message he would like to stress from Tunisia is that the political and economic blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip should be ended, adding that Palestine is not just a title, but a religious and national commitment.
In a joint press conference he held with his counterpart Hamadi al-Jabali, at the Tunisian government headquarters on Thursday, Haneyya congratulated the Tunisian people on the success of their revolution and the success of their elections saying that these were historic events.
He said that he was glad that Tunisia has started to deal with its problems and concerns. He said that chants of “people want the liberation of Palestine” that he heard on his arrival at Tunis airport meant a lot and that the march to liberate Jerusalem has started. He pointed out that Tunisia is a fundamental part of the Arab dimension to the Palestinian cause.
He greeted the martyrs of the Tunisian revolution and praised the people who started the wheel of change in the region.
He also said that he knows that Palestine is in the heart of every Tunisian man and woman and that the Tunisian people presented a civilised model in their revolution which shortened the road to the liberation of Jerusalem and the blessed Aqsa Mosque.
