Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday had a phone talk with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah Ibn Abdul-Aziz on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's situation.

The phone call dealt with the deteriorating situation in the Palestinian lands as a result of an Israeli incursion into towns in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported.

The two men exchanged views on Israeli attacks on Arafat's compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah and Mubarak's urgent message to US President George W. Bush late Saturday.

By Saturday morning, the Israeli army had demolished most of buildings in Arafat's compound.

On Sunday, the third day of the Israeli siege of Arafat's office building, the Palestinians in towns of the West Bank and Gaza took to the street to show their support for the Palestinian leader.

Earlier in the day, Israeli bulldozers were reportedly about to demolish the last buildings in Arafat's Ramallah headquarters.

The Israeli army launched offensives against Arafat's compound and made an incursion into Gaza on Thursday in retaliation for two suicide bombings inside Israel in less than 24 hours, which killed eight people and injured some 60 others.
