Riyadh, January 09, 2010, SPA -- Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Abdurrahman bin Hamad Al-Atiyyah Friday criticized the ongoing Israeli air raids on Gaza Strip. He said these raids proved that the Zionists ideology feeds on acts of terrorism, intimidation of secured people and the spread of panic among innocent people specially children, women and the elderly. Al-Atiyyah viewed the Israeli occupation authorities" insistence on recurring its criminal operations at this particular time as an obvious attempt to cover up the ongoing expansion of settlements to Judaize Jerusalem. --MORE 14:27 LOCAL TIME 11:27 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/736055
