Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood makes first visit to Hamas-led Gaza

Delegation meets Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in celebration of Israel-Hamas prisoner swap that was brokered by Egypt.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood visited the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip for the first time on Saturday, signaling a shift in Cairo's posture toward the Palestinian Islamists since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak.
A delegation led by deputy Brotherhood chief Goma Amin met Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in celebration of the prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel brokered by Egypt last week. Under the prisoner swap, Hamas released Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian and Israeli-Arab prisoners.
