Iran MPs plan to Visit Gaza to Praise Hamas
2009-01-26
Five Iranian parliament members intend to visit the Gaza Strip to congratulate the Palestinians on their resistance against the "Zionist offensive."
this is meant to be a slap at Egypt and the Saudis
The Iranian lawmakers will tour parts of Gaza to evaluate the damage sustained during Israel's three-week-long Operation cast Lead. Iranian parliament member Mahmoud Ahmadi said the group also plans to meet with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whom Ahmadi called "the legitimate Prime Minister of Palestine."
and this is to give the finger to Abbas, the UN and the EU
Another lawmaker said Tehran's foreign ministry is trying to expedite the visa process, so they can enter Gaza via Egypt.

#7  They'd have to get permission from Israel or Egypt to go through a border crossing, wouldn't they? That's not something I'd give great odds for success.
