Masri invites Arab parliament speakers to visit Gaza

Hamas MP Mushir Al-Masri has called on the speakers of Arab parliaments to visit the Gaza Strip to pressure for the end of the siege imposed on the Strip for more than three years.

Masri said in a statement on behalf of Hamas’s parliamentary bloc on Sunday that the visit of a delegation for the Arab parliamentary union to Gaza last week was appreciated despite being a late step but it was a step in the right direction.

The lawmaker said that such visits should be followed by practical supportive steps of the Palestinian people and of ending the siege and occupation.
