Oh-oh. Youze guys is in trouble now...
CAIRO (Reuters) - The head of the Arab League said on Tuesday that he was angry with fractious Palestinian political groups and that sanctions against them were being discussed by Arab governments.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Egypt, the main mediator between often rival Palestinian groups, has been holding bilateral talks with minor groups in preparation for similar talks with the two main groups -- Fatah and Hamas. "I am extremely angry with the Palestinian organizations," Amr Moussa, secretary-general of the league, told a news conference in an unusually harsh criticism of the Palestinians.
Not seeing their sweetness and light are ya, Amr?
"We are studying the measures to be taken in the face of the current Palestinian chaos," he said, after a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo.
But first...dinner.
But he added: "The sanctions would not be against anyone in particular. They would be against the party which obstructs reconciliation and maybe against everyone or against the organization which obstructs Egyptian efforts."
Boy, that's crystal clear...
If talks with the main groups succeed, Egypt might bring all the factions together in October after the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the holiday which follows.
...or the one after that.
Moussa gave no details of the sanctions the Arab states envisaged against the Palestinian groups. "They (the sanctions) are now all in the framework of closed consultations within the Arab system," he added, referring to the Arab League.
So they'll be Double Secret sanctions?
He said: "Do they (the Palestinians) have a state for them to be fighting over ministerial positions? We kidded ourselves and called it the state of Palestine. It's not a state until it obtains its full rights."
Hey, can he say that out loud?
