TEHRAN - Egypt has agreed to allow Iranian lawmakers to use the Rafah border crossing to travel to Gaza, Iranian MP Alaeddin Boroujerdi announced on Sunday.

Boroujerdi stated that he talked with his Egyptian counterpart on Saturday, adding that Egyptian officials expressed readiness to allow Iranian lawmakers to enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing.

“(We) have asked the Egyptian government (to allow) the Iranian parliamentary delegation to go through the Egyptian channel to enter Gaza,” said the MP, who is the chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee.

He added that Egypt’s overall views on the issue are positive.

On June 8, at a meeting with the director of the Egyptian Interests Section in Tehran, Aleddin Hassan-Youssef, Boroujerdi said the Majlis plans to dispatch a parliamentary group to Gaza.

In addition, Iranian MP Mahmoud Ahmadi-Biqash said on Sunday that the Egyptian government has agreed to issue visas for 70 Iranian parliamentarians who have registered to travel to the Gaza Strip.

Those fat bastards only care for how much money they can embezzle in Iran. There is nothing to embezzle in Gaza. If they indeed go ahead and enter Gaza, I wish Israel would keep them there and won't let them leave. Less problems for us.
