Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak in Cairo Sunday evening for talks, amid speculation that the two men were to discuss a deal to free Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The meeting was closed to the press, and Egypt's official Middle East News Agency reported only that the two had met at Mubarak's residence, and that they had "discussed the peace process, specifically the Palestinian track."
Netanyahu's visit follows talks in Jerusalem Sunday between US envoy George Mitchell and Israeli President Shimon Peres, and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, as part of what White House officials have promised will be a new push for a Middle East peace plan this month.
