The Jordanian parliamentary delegation, which arrived in Cairo yesterday, postponed its trip to the Gaza Strip and a new date is yet to be determined.
The head of the 11-member delegation and chairman of the Lower House Palestine Committee, Yahya Saud, said that the Jordanian lawmakers were scheduled to leave Cairo early Wednesday for the besieged coastal territory, but the Jordanian embassy in Egypt advised them not to go ahead with the visit due to turmoil in northern Sinai.
The lawmaker reiterated the delegation's determination to make the visit in solidarity with the Gazans, following Israel's 50-day war against the besieged enclave, noting that the delegation is coordinating with the Egyptian authorities and the Jordanian embassy in Cairo.
