Israeli PM wants peace talks within 'weeks'

May 11, 2009

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during talks with Egypt's leader on Monday that he wants to resume peace talks with the Palestinians within weeks, but avoided any mention of a two-state solution to the conflict. The hawkish premier, at a joint news conference with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, failed to publicly endorse the creation of a Palestinian state, during the first foreign trip since taking office in March. Images and soundbite from Mubarak.
