Israeli Cabinet minister Ezer Weizman made a previously unannounced visit to Cairo and met with President Hosni Mubarak on settling a border dispute and upgrading relations. Diplomatic sources said Weizman’s visit was related to the recent Israeli government decision to accept binding international arbitration on Taba, a disputed strip of beach in the Sinai. Israel’s acceptance of arbitration was part of a larger package calling for promotion of bilateral relations and the return of the Egyptian ambassador to Israel.
