RAMALLAH, May 8, 2007, (WAFA)-Minister of Information and official government's spokesperson , Dr. Mustaffa al-Barghouthi said Tuesday that the ongoing Israeli hinting of invasion the Gaza Strip reveals the real intentions of the powerlessness of the Israeli government.

In a press release, Al-Barghouthi told reporters that the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his Army Minister Amir Peretz have received the American security plane through military escalation against Gaza and the Israeli government has failed to be a partner in peace and even rejected all the successive Palestinian initiatives as well as the Arab Peace Initiative to reach a comprehensive and permanent solution.

Al-Barghouti added that we hope that the world sees the truth as it is, that is to say the government of Israel is incapable and the major obstacle in the path of progress towards peace.
