Mubarak recommends Israel to hand over Shebaa farms to Lebanon

The Israeli radio said on Monday that President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt had recommended Israel to hand over Shebaa farms to Lebanon so as there would be no pretext to Hizbullah to continue attacks against Israel. The radio explained that Mubarak said so to the Israeli minister of the Interior Sholoumi Bin Ami during their meeting last week in Cairo and Bin Ami conveyed this later to Barak.

Mubarak added in his talks with Bin Ami that there is an agreement between Syria and Lebanon since 1946 over the Shebaa farms and Israel's stubbornness concerning these farms is futile.
