      Cairo newspaper "A-Dar"
reported Friday that Israel issued a request to Egypt to prevent aid
ships from Iran reaching Gaza via the Suez Canal. Egyptian officials
reported the request because "it contradicts the law."

Egyptian
authorities explained to the Cairo newspaper that Israel requested Egypt
prevent any aid ships arriving from Iran passing through the Suez Canal
claiming that Iran is aiding Hamas to work against Egypt.


The newspaper added that Egypt refused the Israeli demands because it is
not possible to prevent the passage of any ship through the canal
because of international laws. Egyptians explained that they are not
able to stand against the intent of Arab states, the Muslim world and
international organizations to provide aid to the residents of Gaza and
to lift the blockade.

Sources at "A-Dar" reported that according to sources at the department
for defending the interests of Iran in Cairo that Egypt approved the
demands of hundreds of Iranians that will accompany the aid ships.
