Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Cairo for talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Middle East peace process. <br/>According to Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit the discussions are expected to focus on ways to advance peace efforts and reach a fair settlement on the Palestinian refugee problem and East Jerusalem.<br/>The Israeli premier in a speech before Israeli diplomats yesterday said that he wanted to resume negotiations in the near future. Netanyahu last month announced a 10-month moratorium on new housing projects in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank in a hope to restart the peace talks suspended during the Gaza war. But Palestinians have rejected the moratorium, saying it fell far short of their demand for a complete halt of settlement activity. <br/>
