\r\nThe Iranian delegation, comprised of seven lawmakers, will travel with the group to Syria and from there will head to Gaza via the Rafah crossing in Egypt to display their solidarity with the Palestinian people in their resistance against the Israeli regime, ISNA reported on Tuesday.

\r\nA group of 50 activists, currently in Iran en route to Gaza, originally started their planned nine-country road convoy trip from New Delhi, India. The convoy estimates that it will arrive at the Rafah Crossing in late December to deliver its cargo of the much needed medical and relief supplies for the impoverished people in Gaza.
\r\n
\r\n“This group will board a ship in Syria destined for Egypt and since the Egyptian government has promised to grant us visas, the Iranian delegation will accompany the pro-Palestinian activists, said Majlis (parliament) member Mahmoud Ahmadi Bighash.
\r\n
\r\nThe member of Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy emphasized that Iran's Foreign Ministry has performed the required formalities to obtain entry visas to Egypt for the Iranian lawmakers.
\r\n
\r\nBighash, Avaz Heidarpour, Parvi Sarvari, Ali Motahari, Ali Asghar Zarei, Hassan Ghafourifard and Shabib Jooyjari are the seven Iranian MPs that intend to join the Asian Gaza Convoy.
\r\n
\r\nThe Asian People's Solidarity with Palestine convoy, which has travelled across Iran en route to Gaza, arrived in Tehran on Sunday and was greeted by the city's people and officials, including Tehran's Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
