Jimmy Carter Says Palestinians Live in a “Cage”

Local Editor

In his visit to the Occupied Palestinian Territories with an international group of veteran statesmen known as the Elders, former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that Palestinians are "living in a cage" in Gaza.

Carter's comments came in a meeting with head of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Hamas, Khaled Mashaal. Carter further added that the Palestinian resistance group Hamas must be included in all major efforts for peace.

Carter was in Syria with the Elders, which includes Ireland's former President Mary Robinson.
Moreover, Carter added that "1.5 million Palestinians are held in a cage or prison while their human rights are taken away."

Carter's remarks came as reconciliation talks between the two Palestinian factions were postponed Tuesday.

The Zionist entity has imposed a siege on the Gaza Strip since 2007, and the situation in the enclave besieging 1.5 million Palestinians has only become ominous.

Not only that, but also the Palestinians suffered a Zionist onslaught on the Gaza Strip in which more than 1,400 Gazans were killed.
