Shifting Policies From Pro Israel to Balanced Stance
Egypt's foreign minister Ahmed Maher said Washington is moving toward a more balanced policy toward Israel and Arab states. He predicted Ariel Sharon would not be happy with everything he hears in talks with President Bush and Colin Powell next week. Maher called his visit a success and praised Powell for labeling Israel an occupier. Powell pledged faster aid to Egypt and said he would weigh Arab objections to any Iraq action in the war on terror.
