Jordan's King Abdullah II held talks Monday with Egyptian President Husni Mubarak in Cairo with Lebanon on the agenda. The Arab leaders discussed the Middle East peace process on the eve of inter-Palestinian talks hosted by Cairo on a truce proposal with Israel. King Abdullah II also briefed Mubarak on talks he had last week in Washington with U.S. President George Bush, during which he urged him to set "clear grounds and fixed time-frames" for stalled Middle East peace talks. The state-run MENA news agency said the Jordanian monarch and Mubarak met for one hour at Sharm el-Sheikh airport and discussed "efforts aimed at advancing the Palestinian-Israeli peace process" in addition to the Lebanese and Iraqi developments. The talks also focused on moves "to unify Palestinian ranks and reach a truce between Israelis and Palestinians aimed at lifting the blockade" imposed by Israel on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, MENA said. Palestinian militant factions begin on Tuesday two days of talks with Egypt's security chief Omar Suleiman aimed at unifying positions over a truce proposal made by Hamas. The Islamist group said last week it was ready to accept a phased ceasefire that would start in Gaza and extend to the West Bank after six months. Israel has raised doubts about the intentions of Hamas, but suggested there could be a tacit truce if militants stopped rocket fire. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas gave his unconditional support to Egypt's mediation efforts with Israel, following talks in Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday with Mubarak.(AFP)
