Arab foreign ministers will hold an emergency
meeting in Kuwait on Friday to discuss means of stopping Israeli attacks on
Gaza, Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa said Monday, dpa reported.
Moussa said the ministers would discuss "the continuing Israeli aggression

people injured as the fighting enters its third week. Israeli media report that
13 Israelis, including three civilians, have been killed since fighting began.
