Israel transferred most of the Gaza Strip to Palestinian rule in 1994 at the start of seven years of peacemaking, which deadlocked before the latest spate of violence began.
"It is high time Arab leaders reconsidered their ways of how to confront and how to put an end to this aggression ... Will they wake up after all the Palestinian land is reoccupied and after Israel enters all Arab capitals?" Palestinian minister Asfour said. "We call on the Arab people to go down to the streets in their countries and wake up their leaders."
