US President George W. Bush on Tuesday talked with his Egyptian counterpart Hosni Mubarak by telephone on the situation regarding Iraq and conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians, the White House said.

They "talked about their shared view that it's important for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to comply with (UN Security Council) Resolution 1441 and to disarm," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters at a regular press briefing.

Bush told Mubarak "about his recent speech where he reiterated his commitment to move forward on seeking peace between Israelis and Palestinians," Fleischer said.

"President Bush told President Mubarak of his personal commitment to dedicate time and energy to this goal as they discussed developments in that area," Fleischer said.

They also talked about the recent Arab League summit in Cairo and the forthcoming Islamic Conference summit in Doha, he added.
