EU states to help Spain fight immigration crisis30.05.2006 - 09:55 CET By Aleander Balzan

EU member states have agreed to help Spain to patrol the waters along the African coast in order to combat the increasing influx of illegal immigrants landing on the Canary Islands or on Spain's southern coastline.

Spain and eight other European countries agreed the initiative on Monday (29 May) after a meeting between representatives of the European Commission and the European Border Agency (FRONTEX) in Madrid. Austria, Finland, France, Italy, UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Greece are all to take part in the patrols.Deputy prime minister Maria Teresa Fernandez De La Vega was reported as saying by the Spanish Herald that this is a common policy on frontier control for the first time on the part of the European Union.

Spanish secretary of state for security Antonio Camacho said that the operation will go on throughout the summer and may continue into the autumn.The operation will involve five patrol boats, five helicopters and an airplane which will attempt to reduce the number of boats sailing from Mauritania, Senegal and Cape Verde toward the southern part of Spain. The Spanish Herald reports that half of the costs will be paid by the commission, with the rest of the costs still to be allocated. More than 400 migrants landed on the Canary Islands last weekend while another 350 arrived in Spain in small boats on Monday. This year nearly 7,000 migrants have already landed on the islands. The number was around 4,750 in 2005 and just over 8,500 in 2004.

Malta and Italy are also set to face increased illegal immigration during the summer months. A group of 24 illegal immigrants landed on the tiny island of Malta on Sunday – making it the fourth group of immigrants to be rescued since the warmer weather set in. A group of 25 illegal immigrants from Sudan arrived on Wednesday and 23 Eritreans were brought in last week. On May 19, another group of 45, mostly Ethiopians, landed.Meanwhile, more than 800 migrants landed on the southern Sicilian island of Lampedusa during the past ten days.

Why would religious leaders go to the EU when they do not want GOD in the constitution,(GODLESS). The Church is whoring itself with the World just like the Bible says would happen in REVELATION CHAPTER 17. And the Bible says that the future pope from the Vatican will come from the Occult as well as the future EU leader (dictator), thats why the church is whoring with the EU at this time in history.

Religious leaders meet with EU officials

(Kyodo) _ Religious leaders gathered on Tuesday at the headquarters of the European Commission to consult with politicians about the future of Europe. I am very happy to have all representatives of religions around me here to talk. It is necessary for the cohesion in society to consult each other from time to time,President of the European Union's executive body, Jose-Manuel Barroso, told a news conference. The idea to have a regular meeting of leaders of the orthodox church, the Roman Catholic Church, Islamic and Jewish communities alike was proposed some months ago with the aim of raising mutual respect in society. Also present was the Buddhist spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, who is currently making a trip through Belgium.
This is what Europe is -- unity in diversity,Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel said. Austria currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU.This is a very important moment which will be marking this presidency,said Schuessel. We need believers in the future of Europe. More than economical ideas or targets we need social cohesion. Solidarity, justice and how to deal with religious beliefs of the different ethnic groups are some of the subjects we will discuss.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAUIsraeli troops ambush deep inside Gaza StripAnti-evacuation critics had warned withdrawal would prompt re-entry

JERUSALEM – For the first time since Israel evacuated the territory nine months ago, Israeli Defense Forces troops today carried out an anti-terror operation deep inside the Gaza Strip in a town that formerly housed a thriving Jewish community. Defense officials said more ground operations in Gaza will likely follow. Critics of Israel's Gaza withdrawal had warned the retreat would prompt an onslaught of terrorism requiring the IDF to enter the territory. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is planning a second withdrawal from most of Judea and Samaria, mountainous terrain within rocket firing range of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the country's international airport.

Early today, a special IDF unit entered deep inside the Gaza Strip and set up an ambush within the ruins of Dagit, a coastal town that previously was part of Gush Katif, the slate of Gaza's Jewish communities Israel evacuated last August. The town has been regularly used the past few months by terrorists to fire Qassam missiles at Jewish neighborhoods bordering Gaza. When an Islamic Jihad Qassam missile crew arrived, reportedly intending to fire rockets, the IDF forces opened fire. The troops, backed by an IAF helicopter gunship and a naval unit, killed four Jihad members. After a fierce gun battle with nearby militants who joined in the clashes, the IDF unit exited Gaza without any casualties.

Military officials described the Gaza operation as "high risk" and "well orchestrated." It was the deepest the IDF has operated in Gaza since the August withdrawal. Until now, the Israeli army has attempted to halt Qassam rocket fire from outside Gaza mostly utilizing artillery units and airial strikes. Soldiers on two occasions the past few months entered Gaza but only a few feet deep to search for explosives along a border fence. Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz vowed today operations against Qassam launch cells in Gaza would continue by air, sea and, if needed, with ground operations in order to prevent further rocket fire. Since Israel withdrew from Gaza more over 400 rockets have been fired at adjacent Jewish communities. More than ten rockets were fired in the last week alone. Two rockets were fired this morning.

Israel says it has information rockets have been transferred from the Gaza Strip to Judea and Samaria. For many, the reports of troops entering Gaza actualize warnings repeatedly voiced by opponents of the Gaza withdrawal plan prior to its implementation. Some military leaders, including former Gaza commanders and a former Israeli defense minister, have been calling on Israel in recent weeks to reoccupy parts of Gaza to halt terror operations and the regular Qassam firings. As WND recently reported, Israeli troops last month quietly trained for a large-scale incursion and occupation of Gaza in the event it is deemed necessary. In an interview with Israel's Maariv daily, IDF Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant, who leads the unit responsible for the Gaza area, said the army could reoccupy Gaza.

If the price we have to pay becomes unreasonable as a result of increased [Palestinian] attacks, then we shall have to take all steps, including occupying the Gaza Strip,he said. While Israeli officials contemplate Gaza operations, Olmert is attempting to push through a large-scale evacuation of most of Judea and Samaria, territory commonly referred to as the West Bank. About 200,000 Jews live in Judea and Samaria. A separation barrier, still under construction in certain areas, cordons off nearly 95 percent of the territory from Israel's pre-1967 borders. More than half Judea and Samaria's Jewish residents reside on the side of the fence closest to Israel. About 80,000 more Jews live on the other side of the barrier. Olmert officials have stated the past few weeks the new prime minister plans to enforce a withdrawal from all 68 Jewish towns that fall outside the barrier.

In a widely circulated WND article, leaders of every major Palestinian terror organization warned they will soon launch a massive violent campaign against Israel focused mainly on Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. One senior terrorist said now that Olmert announced a Judea and Samaria withdrawal, terrorism against Israel must be stepped up to prove we are chasing out the Israelis like we did in Gaza.
