Egyptian delegation heads to Gaza for solidarity visit

Leading members of Egypt’s Freedom and Justice Party are heading to Gaza for a visit in solidarity with the people of Palestine. The chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, Dr. Sa’ad Al-Katatni, will lead the delegation, which includes non-Islamist politicians and prominent personalities.

According to Dr. Murad Ali, the party’s media consultant, the delegation is going “to support the Palestinians in their ordeal at the hands of the Zionist entity” as it “continues its massacres in Gaza”.
