| Israel welcomed a weekend agreement by the US, Canada and seven European states to coordinate efforts to stop the flow of weapons into Gaza. Representatives of the nine countries, at a meeting in London on Friday, agreed on a series of measures including maritime interception, information sharing and diplomatic pressure. Israeli representatives attended the gathering as observers, but the Egyptian government declined an offer to participate. The Palestinian Authority also did not attend, officials said. British officials said it was agreed to use existing United Nations resolutions as a legal basis for their efforts rather than seek new legal authority to prevent weapons from reaching Gaza. |
