Olmert will attend Sunday meeting with Mubarak in Sharm El Sheikh. Jordan’s princeling Abdullah and PLO’s Abbas will join.
Israel often talks to Arab countries in Egypt because they lack diplomatic relations with Israel and refuse to hold talks in Jerusalem. Israel, however, maintains relations with Egypt, Jordan, and the PLO. There is no reason for Olmert to humiliatingly travel to the Egyptian resort rather than inviting the Arab leaders to Jerusalem.
