Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt - Bilateral talks between Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak and King Abdullah II of Jordan Wednesday concentrated on Palestine and Lebanon, an official said. Abdullah arrived earlier on Wednesday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to meet his Egyptian counterpart. Spokesman of the Egyptian Presidency, Soleiman Awad, said both leaders support Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's call for peace between Palestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas. Awad said Egypt is trying to host a Palestinian-Palestinian dialogue to reach reconciliation between all factions. The two leaders have also expressed their hope for the implementation of the Doha accord, an agreement reached by rival Lebanese factions in Qatar in May and urged a quick agreement on the new Lebanese cabinet. A Qatar-mediated accord in May included an agreement on a Lebanese national unity government, but differences over portfolios has held up the formation of the new cabinet in which the opposition is guaranteed effective veto power. Awad added that Jordanian and Egyptian leaders wrapped up their talks by discussing Egyptian gas exports to Jordan.
