Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh telephoned his Libyan counterpart Moamer Gaddafi Thursday to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip, Yemen's state news agency Saba reported, according to dpa. The two leaders discussed "the situation in Palestine in light of the aggression and massacres committed by Israel against the Palestinian people," according to the agency. Saleh highlighted "the need for coordinating the two countries' ranks to create an action by the Arabs to put pressure on Israel to stop its offensive and end the suffering of the Palestinian people." On Monday, the Yemeni leader called on his fellow Arab leaders to hold an emergency summit to discuss the Israeli lockdown of the Gaza Strip.
