Mubarak

Cairo: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak began talks
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Red Sea
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh Thursday, in the midst of renewed
efforts to revive the Middle East peace process.
Netanyahu's visit comes a day after European Union foreign policy
chief Catherine Ashton met Israeli officials in Jerusalem and
called for urgent progress to be made on the stalled peace
process.
Washington managed to launch direct talks between Israeli and
Palestinian leaders in September, only for negotiations to
collapse less than a month later when Israel refused to renew a
partial freeze on settlement construction.
The Palestinians insist they will not return to the negotiating
table as long as settlement building in the West Bank and East
Jerusalem continues.
