The leaders of Egypt and Israel have announced plans to meet as soon as the Israeli prime minister puts together a government, officials say. Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president, called to congratulate Ehud Olmert on his being asked by the Israeli president on Thursday to head a government after winning the general election last month. A statement from the Israeli prime minister's office said: "The two agreed to meet immediately after a government is formed." Mubarak also wished Olmert good luck at forging a coalition. |
