In response to a question on the situation in Gaza , he said it is “tragic”.
Asked whether he would accept an invitation to participate in the “Freedom Flotilla II” aboard the “Mariam” and the “Naji al-Ali” aid ships that may leave Lebanon for the Gaza Strip in the near future, Moussa said: “First of all, I would like to know the identity of those who may address such an invitation, and I’m here in Beirut, so they can talk to me directly and bestow such an invitation.”
