Jordan's Islamic party stages mass rally against Gaza blockade
By DPA
Tags: Islamic Action Front 

Hundreds of Jordanians staged a rally Saturday to press for lifting of the blockade imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip and urged Arab countries, particularly Egypt, to break the siege.

The protest was held in front of the Islamic Action Front (IAF), Jordan's largest political party and the political arm of the influential Muslim Brotherhood movement.

Addressing the audience, the IAF Deputy Secretary General Rhayyel Gharaibeh accused Arab countries of "playing into the hands of the United States and Israel" by failure to take steps to break the Gaza siege.
