Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's senior advisors, Uzi Arad and Yitzhak Molcho, will leave for Cairo on Sunday ahead of Netanyahu's meeting with US President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
State officials in Jerusalem said Israel viewed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as a key player in the efforts to bring Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the negotiating table. Arad and Molcho are expected to meet with senior Egyptian officials to discuss the easing of the Gaza blockade and renewing the activities of international monitors in the Strip and of PA representatives at the crossings.
