SHARM EL-SHEIKH, June 1 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer met Saturday in Sharm El- Sheikh to discuss solutions to end the difficult Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Fischer arrived in Egypt late Friday from a three-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories, where he met Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, Agence Presse-France (AFP) reported.

An Egyptian official said that top of the agenda for Fisher and Mubarak was the Middle East peace conference planned to be held in the next two or three months, sponsored by the United States, European Union, Russia and the United Nations.

Mubarak will be holding a summit with U.S. President George W. Bush at Camp David on June 7-8. Mubarak is expected to unveil to Bush a peace plan that calls for a declaration of a Palestinian state in self-rule areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip by early 2003, an Arab official told AFP. The trip will be Mubarak's second to the United States in three months.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's top aide, Osama El-Baz, Friday, May 31, 2002 and demanded an end to what he called terrorism before starting talks with the Palestinians.

Egypt has reportedly drafted the blueprints for a major revamp of the Palestinian Authority, a key demand of Israel and the United States for a resumption of peace talks, AFP said.

During the meeting in Occupied Jerusalem, Sharon also repeated Israel's demand that Egypt free Azzam Azzam, an Israeli druze sentenced to 15 years in prison in 1997 for spying for the Jewish state. Baz replied by saying that it was not the right time to discuss this topic.

Baz also explained "what is required of Israel, from Egypt's point of view, to help the new efforts succeed in relaunching the peace process," he said.

Sharon, meanwhile, also met with U.S. Middle East envoy William Burns and made a similar demand for an end to violence for peace talks to proceed. The U.S. envoy also earlier held talks with Peres.

Mubarak also spoke by telephone with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on the latest developments in the Palestinian territories, the state MENA news agency reported Friday.

Mubarak and Annan touched on "the coordinated efforts deployed by Egypt, the UN and the United States with Israel and the Palestinian Authority to reach a solution to the (Middle East) crisis within the framework of UN resolutions," MENA said.
