Rice: Extremely Important to Let Students Out of Gaza

(IsraelNN.com) US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice noted that it is “very important” to allow three Arab students and residents of terrorist-controlled Gaza to leave their homes and take up the prestigious Fulbright scholarships at US universities. Previously, the US expressed embarrassment on revelations it had withdrawn seven Fulbright scholarships from Gazan students as Israeli counterterrorism measures did not permit their exit from Gaza. "I consider it extremely important for these young people to be able to take up their fellowships," Rice said in an interview yesterday.

Peter Lerner, the Israeli civil affairs coordinator for Gaza, said security concerns were the reason the three students could not leave Gaza.
