Basyouni and the Arab summit

The Egyptian ambassador to Israel Muhammad Basyouni on Friday said that Egypt is ready to withdraw its ambassador from Israel if this will be the request of the forthcoming Arab summit due to be convened on October 21 and 22 in Cairo.

Basyouni said in a statement on Friday replying to a question on the call made by certain Arab circles to boycott relations with Israel that " withdrawing ambassadors will not solve the problem. It will rather lead to have the dialogue with the Israeli side indirectly. But if the Arab summit decides this measure, then it should be honored."
