Mubarak rejects demand to freeze relations with Israel

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said that "relations with Israel serve as the best way to end the crisis," in response to opposition pressure calling on him to recall the Egyptian ambassador in Israel and the freezing of diplomatic relations between the countries.

Mubarak added that "we recalled our ambassador from Tel Aviv during the Lebanon war in 1982 and we did it again during the intifada. This step did not serve any purpose." (AFP)

Mubarek better not emulate Anwar Sadat and attend any military parades in the near future.
