Reuters. 14 April 2002. Saddam urges Irangive oil revenue to Palestinians. BAGHDAD -- Iraqi President Saddam Hussein urged Iran on Sunday to give part of one month's oil revenues to the Palestinian people, Iraqi state television said. "Iran has previously called for a one-month oil embargo... and Iraq has implemented and stopped pumping oil for a month," it quoted Saddam as saying during a cabinet meeting. "But Iran has not taken any practical step to implement the call... and has not stopped pumping for one month," Saddam said. Saddam announced on April 2 that he was stopping oil deliveries for a month, or until Israel withdrew from its military incursion into the West Bank to clamp down on an 18-month-old Palestinian uprising against occupation. "Iran is currently urging others to offer part of their (oil) revenues of one month to the Palestinian people... and this is good... but let it pay too," he said. "We hope first that Iran will pay part of its oil revenues of one month to the Palestinian people, and we hope the Arab League will be ready to receive the sums which we hope Iran will pay, to be transferred to the Palestinian people." Saddam also hailed the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli offensive. "The Palestinians have high morale and they are determined to resist," he said. "The Palestinians are heroes who deserve that we greet them and hail their resistance every day and praise their continuation of their intifada against the Zionist entity until Palestine is liberated," he said. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
