...Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, last week's visit by King Hussein of Jordan was another step toward ending Egypt's isolation within the Arab world, which began when President Anwar Sadat accepted the Camp David accords and subsequently signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. For the Jordanian monarch, the three-day visit was aimed at forging a moderate Arab consensus in the Middle East. His plan: to convene a peace conference of all those with a stake in the region, including the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Soviet Union...
...Peres visited Washington and New York City, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was paying a courtesy call on King Hussein of Jordan to thank him for renewing diplomatic ties with Egypt last month. Like most other Arab states, Jordan broke relations with Cairo in 1979 after the late Anwar Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel.

But he soon ran afoul of Nasser; in 1954 he was forced out of office and placed under house arrest, where he remained until freed by Sadat...
...Libya or Iran might be responsible. He later added that he hoped it was not Iran. "I think the Libyans were involved," he told reporters early last week. "But until now we are waiting to find one of the mines to confirm our suspicions." Like his predecessor, the late Anwar Sadat, Mubarak has long been at odds with Gaddafi. Sadat once described the Libyan leader as "a vicious criminal, 100% sick and possessed of the demon." Mubarak's style is to be more restrained in his criticism of fellow Arab rulers, but he has often told visitors privately that...
