UK Prime Minister David Cameron: Gaza is a prison.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned the blockade of the Gaza Strip, describing the territory as a “prison camp”.

He also criticised Israel for launching an attack on a convoy transporting Turkish activists and aid to Gaza. Nine Turkish citizens died in the raid.

He was speaking to an audience of businessmen during a visit to Ankara.

The Israeli embassy in London said Gazans were prisoners of Palestinian militant Islamist group Hamas.

Israel and Egypt enforce a blockade on Gaza which restricts goods and people from coming in or out freely.

“Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp,” Mr Cameron said.

Really? It’s a prison camp? When you start criticizing Hamas and the Gazans for the actions that included 10,000 rockets fired at Israel upon Israel’s withdrawal in 2005, get back to me.
