Arab League to hold emergency meeting
2004-10-03
The Arab League says it will hold an emergency session to discuss the violence in Gaza, which has claimed at least 56 Palestinian lives this week.
An Emergency Meeting™, ya say? They sure seem to have a lot of those.
The Palestinian representative to the Arab League, Muhammad Subaih, said permanent delegates would meet in Cairo on Sunday - at the request of his country - to "discuss the savage and continuing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in all cities, villages and refugee camps". They will aim to "prepare an urgent Arab political and diplomatic action plan at the international level aimed at stopping the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, and to work toward the dispatch of international protection and peacekeeping forces to the occupied Palestinian territories".

#4  Pretty soon, the only emergency the Arab League will have to worry about is how many of their top brass will fit into the fallout shelters.

#3  So, how long does an emergency have to be to be defined as chronic?

Possibly because the Arabs and their actions are such a large cause of emergencies?

#1  I bet some emergency memos will be written and emergency communiques will be issued, too.
