Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi accused 'Israel' on Wednesday of blocking all attempts to end the Gaza 'conflict', a day after the collapse of a ceasefire in the Palestinian territory.

"Israel is blocking any kind of agreement leading to calm" in the Gaza Strip, Arabi told journalists.

"The Arab League wants to reach a permanent truce as soon as possible," he said before flying off to Geneva for a meeting with the International Committee of the Red Cross to demand protection of Palestinian civilians.
