[ECH1969]

Egyptian leader says summit to be held in Sharm el-Sheikh on August 3 will review situation in Arab world.

CAIRO - Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak called on Thursday for an extraordinary Arab summit to be held in Sharm el-Sheikh on August 3, just days after the deadly attacks in the Red Sea resort.

"I call for an extraordinary Arab summit on Wednesday August 3 in Sharm el-Sheikh, which will be preceded by a meeting of Arab foreign ministers... with a view to reviewing the situation in the Arab world," Mubarak said in a televised address.

"I am fully confident that this coming extraordinary summit will be capable of crystallizing a strong Arab position that reflects the determination of the Arab states and peoples to overcome the current challenges, and to achieve the peace and stability that all Arabs long for," he added. Mubarak underscored the need to "formulate a common Arab vision" on the Palestinian and Iraqi questions and "the many challenges that might drive the region to dangerous paths."

1. I will believe in Arab statesman ship when I see it

Have not seen it since Carter and the Camp David accords almost 30 years ago.

Lots of talk but in the end it is always kill the Jews and look the other way about terror.

If they want to do something positive they should deal with Saudi support of Islamic extremeism.

I am not holding my breath.
