Mubarak for halting deteriorations in Palestinian territories

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak stressed the need for halting the state of deterioration the Palestinians suffer in the occupied territories.

In a statement he made in Cairo yesterday on the sideline of inaugurating the 24th market for youths, Mubarak urged Israel to work for easing down tension in the occupied territories. He stressed that the Palestinian and Israeli sides sitting together is the means to end the state of tension.

On what has been stated on the deployment of international forces to disengage the Palestinians and the Israelis, Mubarak said when the Roadmap starts to be implemented it would be possible to deploy forces.
