The Arab world's most senior diplomat has arrived in the Gaza Strip.
Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa was greeted at the Egyptian border town of Rafah Sunday by officials from Hamas and various Palestinian factions.
The chief of the 22-member Arab League said Israel's siege on the Gaza Strip "must be broken".
Moussa is expected to hold talks with top Hamas leader Ismail Haniya at his home during the one-day visit. He is also scheduled to meet with Palestinian families who lost relatives during the Israel-Gaza war.
Some 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died during the 3-week war, which began in December 2008.
