Mubarak Has Right to Recall Ambassador for Consultations: Israeli President
Israeli President Moshe Katsaw stressed Tuesday in Gaza that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has the right to recall Egyptian ambassador to Israel for consultations over the latest developments.
His remark came after Mubarak Tuesday ordered Egypt's ambassador to Israel to return immediately following Israeli air strikes late Monday night on Gaza City and other Palestinian areas to avenge a bomb attack on an Israeli settlers' school bus in Gaza, which killed two Israelis and injured nine others.
Katsaw, who Tuesday made an inspection tour at the Kfar Darom Jewish settlement in central Gaza, expressed the hope that the ambassador can "give true description on the matters."
More than 250 people, mostly Palestinians, have been killed and thousands of others wounded in the clashes between the Palestinians and Israeli troops that erupted on September 28.
