| Egyptian minister to meet with Israelis and snub Arafat |
| 2003-12-17 |
| EFL Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher will arrive in Israel next Monday for an official visit, but will not meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, a government source in Jerusalem said Tuesday. Details of the visit were finalized in a recent meeting between Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Geneva. If this last part is true it is BIG. Mubarak has been ticked off by Arafat for a long time but he has been trapped by his own pro Paleo propaganda machine. |

| #4 but will not meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat This is just a sensitive soul who doesn't want to be photographed with Arafat sitting at the table of love. The gentle lizards of LGF have made people wary of this particular photo-op. |

| #3 I would just prefer he visit Arafat. That way we can list Egypt as a terrorist state and stop giving them money. |

| #2 Might be, Anon... if the kid isn't up to the task of ruling, Mubarak might be trying to buy a set of training wheels for him. Training wheels with a "Made In The USA" guarentee. He offers to scratch our back if we promise to covertly keep his brat on the 'throne', so to speak. Makes a realpolitik sort of sense, in a dirty, back-stabbing sort of way... Ed Becerra |
