Kesher Talk

Egypt + Israel = ?: Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak yesterday called Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and thanked him for productive meetings Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher had in Israel this week, and for the medical treatment of the minister after he was attacked at Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

Rumors are that the two leaders will meet soon, for the first time since Sharon became Prime Minister in 2001.

All this comes against the backdrop of terrorism along the two countries' border. Police concluded that the perpetrators of an attack on a motorist north of Eilat came from, and returned to, Egypt.

The IDF said this incident was the seventh occurence recently of terrorists infiltrating Israel from Egyptian territory.
