Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said Sunday that a meeting of the league's representatives has decided to demand that the United Nations Security Council hold a meeting to stop what it called aggression against Gaza and to declare a no-fly zone over the Hamas-controlled area.

The Arab League meeting was requested by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who made the reference to aggression against Gaza and sought condemnation of what he called "Israel's criminal actions" and the danger of escalation of violence in the area.
