Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr will visit the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, accompanied by some other Arab foreign ministers and the chief of Arab League (AL) Nabil al-Arabi, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Amr Rushdi said Monday.

In a statement released by the ministry, Rushdi said the foreign minister will join an AL ministerial delegation headed by Arabi to visit Gaza "in solidarity with the intrepid Palestinian people who have been under Israel's wanton aggression for six days in succession."

The Arab foreign ministers held an emergency meeting late Saturday on the Palestinian issue, and decided to send a ministerial delegation to the Gaza Strip.

The delegation consisted of nine foreign ministers, including Lebanon's Foreign and Expatriates Minister Adnan Mansour and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, who will arrive in Cairo firstly and leave for Gaza, according to official MENA news agency.

For its part, a 60-person delegation of Egyptian political powers, led by chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party Saad al- Katatni, arrived Monday in Gaza via Rafah crossing, MENA reported.

"The delegation's visit comes in solidarity with the Gazans against continuous Israeli aggression on the coastal enclave," MENA quoted Katatni as saying.

The Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed 91 Palestinians since large-scale conflict erupted last week between Israel and the Gaza strip, including more than 20 children, and wounded as many as 700.
