Mubarak: Premature to talk about Palestinian-Israeli summit

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday termed as "premature" any talk about a Palestinian-Israeli summit in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to relaunch the Mideast peace march.

In an interview with al-Gomhuriya newspaper, Mubarak said that the convocation of such a summit would require holding intensive contacts with both the Palestinians and Israelis.
