Iraqi President Saddam Hussein called Tuesday on Arab states to use force to liberate Palestine from the Israeli occupation, pledging that his country and seven million volunteers of his people will be in the forefront of the battle.
In a speech read to the Arab summit in Amman head of Iraqi delegation to the summit Izzat Ibrahim, Saddam told Arab leaders that his army of volunteers "is concerned to sacrifice themselves as the Zionists are concerned for their lives."
“By God we will bring them [the Israelis] an army whose end will be in Baghdad and its forefront will be making the criminal Zionist invaders and occupiers’ blood run cold,” the Iraqi leader said.
"We do not agree to any deals on Palestine, all of Palestine from the Jordan (river) to the Mediterranean, including Jerusalem, its crown," he added, reiterating rejection of peace settlements with Israel.
But Saddam’s speech had no mentioning of Kuwait. Reports said that a solution was reached to end the conflict between the two countries after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak interfered personally to draft a resolution that Iraq agreed to – Albawaba.com
