RAMALLAH, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The chief of Egyptian intelligence Khaled Fawzi will meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas before heading to Gaza Strip on Tuesday, a senior adviser of Abbas said Monday.

Nabil Shaath, the president's advisor for foreign relations, told Xinhua that Fawzi will discuss with Abbas the measures that are carried out and the Egyptian efforts to end the Palestinian division since 2007.

Shaath explained that Fawzi will head to Gaza after his meeting with Abbas to overlook the government handover process after the Islamic Hamas movement dissolved the "administrative committee" that it formed last year to act instead of the government.

A high ranking Egyptian security delegation arrived in Gaza Sunday, a day before the Palestinian government did, to overlook the process of national reconciliation that Egypt sponsored.

Earlier Monday, Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah arrived in Gaza heading a 120 members delegation through the Erez crossing, which is the first time since October 2014, for the government handover process.
