Zionist 'defense' minister to visit Egypt

Zionist regime 'defense' minister Ehud Barak will head to Egypt on Wednesday for a meeting with President Hosni Mubarak and top defence officials.

 

During his brief visit to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Barak will also meet his Egyptian counterpart Mohammed Hussein Tantawi and intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, one of his aides told AFP.

 

Barak was expected to discuss Egyptian-mediated efforts for an exchange of the seized Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit with Palestinian prisoners who have been abducted on a wholesale manner by the Zionist regime and held without trial.
