Presidential Spokesman Ambassador Suleiman Awwad said President Mubarak will hold talks with US President Barack Obama on September 1, adding President Mubarak will then join the launch of the direct Palestinian-Israeli talks.

Mubarak will address the event on Egypt's vision of successful direct talks and aspirations for reaching a peace deal to end the Israeli occupation and establish a Palestinian state with al-Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) as its capital, he noted.

Awwad said that President Mubarak will announce that the timetable for the negotiations will be one year.

The Palestinians and Israelis were close to reach a deal in 2000 on all final status issues, Awwad said. Therefore, we have to build on what has been reached, he added, saying Egypt is ready to work with the Americans to contain any differences between the two sides.
