Arafat, Mubarak, Hussein to Meet
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, King Hussein of Jordan and Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat are expected to meet in Egypt this weekend, the semiofficial Middle East News Agency reported Friday.
Mubarak will meet with Hussein today and Arafat will join them later, the news agency said. The meeting, the second of its kind in about five months, is likely to be held in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, 75 miles west of Cairo.
The three leaders are likely to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East, particularly the U.S.-PLO dialogue, the Palestinian uprising in the Israeli-occupied territories and Middle East peace efforts.
