The Zionist entity is pushing the United States to attack Iraq as a way out of the Palestinian Intifada, Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan said on Saturday.

"This Zionist enthusiasm (for an attack on Iraq) that the world is beginning to see betrays the dead-end which confronts the monstrous entity in Palestine in the face of the valiant Intifada of the Palestinian people who are continuing their fight to liberate their land," he said.

"The Zionist entity, which carries out the worst sort of terrorism in the occupied territories in Palestine, has every interest to see an attack against Iraq," Ramadan said.
