<p style="font-size:10pt;">BERLIN, (PIC)&#8211; German Foreign  Minister Guido Westerwelle is to visit the Gaza Strip on Monday on an  official visit, the first by a German official to the Strip since 2006.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The German foreign ministry said in a  statement on Saturday that Westerwelle plans to take first hand  information on means of improving living conditions in Gaza in his  scheduled visit, &#8220;which would represent a moral boost to the Palestinian  people in Gaza.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">However, a German political analyst  described in a statement that the visit remains &#8220;incomplete&#8221; because the  minister does not plan to meet with any of the Hamas leaders while he  is slated to meet relatives of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit held by  Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, in a bid to activate the  German-mediated prisoners&#8217; exchange deal.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The German diplomacy wishes to display its  concern with the problems of Gaza such as the siege and the resultant  suffering of its inhabitants, the analyst added.</p>
