Arab leader Mubarak open to visiting Israel for peace talks
President Hosni Mubarak told Yomiuri that he would travel to Israel only if invited unconditionally and would be the first Arab leader to visit since Sadat in 1977. Shamir said he would welcome a visit but urged talks with Egypt on limited self rule based on Camp David. Mubarak backs a Palestinian state and has pressed the U.S. to resume talks with the PLO, which Israel rejects. The Camp David accord framework is challenged by new positions as tensions over the Palestinian issue persist.
