Archbishop Tutu Visits Gaza to Begin Killing Probe

HeadlineMay 28, 2008

In Israel and the Occupied Territories, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu arrived in Gaza Tuesday to begin a probe into the killing of nineteen Palestinians by Israeli troops in 2006. The Israeli government had previously blocked Tutu’s UN-backed investigation by denying him entry. Speaking in Gaza City, Tutu condemned Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu: “For us, what is happening in Gaza is unacceptable. We have already seen and heard enough to move us close to tears.”

Tutu also called on Hamas to end rocket attacks on Israeli towns and said the two sides should begin peace talks.
