Ashton is due to visit the Gaza Strip on Sunday. There are no plans to meet any Hamas officials, with Ashton visiting the projects of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
Before her visit, Ashton said:
We stand ready to support the opening of the Gaza crossings for the traffic of goods to and from Gaza. The European Union has been calling for an urgent and fundamental change of policy regarding the closure of Gaza.
