The ship would sail from Cyprus and the Forum formed a committee to conduct the needed arrangements, specify the number of participants and the timing of the first Islamic trip to the Gaza Strip. The trip would be the fourth after three successful European trips to Gaz.

El Khodary stated that he received a phone call from Nasser Al Sane’, member of the Kuwaiti national council, the vice president of the Forum, and that Al Sane’ informed him of the new trip during the call.

The Forum plans to extend invitations to a number of EU Parliamentarians to participate in the trip and provide the needed help in order to guarantee its success.

El Khodary added that he expects the new ship to reach the Gaza shore after a number of weeks, and added that these ships against the siege prove that Arab and EU Parliamentarians are rejecting the siege and acting to end it.
