The Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa has called for an end to Israel's siege on the Gaza Strip. He told reporters at the Rafah crossing point that Arab governments should help in implementing the Arab League resolution that seeks to end the siege. Moussa, however, said he had not come to Gaza to give support to any political faction, but to meet the Palestinian people of the territory.It was his first visit to the territory since Israel's imposition of a crippling blockade in 2006.Moussa reached the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing where he was welcomed by members of Gaza's ruling Hamas movement, as well as representatives of various Palestinian groups. At a joint news conference with Moussa shortly after his arrival, Basim Naeem, the Hamas health minister, said the visit indicated that the boycott between Gaza and the Arab nation was broken.
