Maher renewed rejection to striking Iraq
Egypt-Iraq, Politics, 9/4/2002

The Egyptian foreign minister Ahmad Maher has renewed his country's deliberate rejection to direct any military attack against Iraq, stressing that there is nothing in the International Law which justifies or permits one country to interfere in the internal affairs of another country.

In a statement he made in Cairo yesterday, Maher indicated the increasing international rejection to any military act against Iraq even inside the USA itself, where many former American officials and members in the US Congress expressed their categorical rejection for Washington's interference in the internal affairs of Iraq.

Maher also called on the US to take a decisive position concerning the brutal aggressions carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people, and for the US also to play its due role as a main sponsor for the Middle East peace process..

He expressed Egypt's hope that America will express its own views in rejecting these practices and killing children and women and destroying the houses in the Palestinian territories.
