- Title: Egypt: Israeli And Arab Leaders Meet In Cairo To Revive Middle East Peace Talks
- Date: 2nd February 1995
- Summary: The leaders of Israel, Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians opened historic talks in Cairo on February 2 1995, to try and breathe new life into the faltering Middle East peace process. The visiting leaders had private talks with Mubarak shortly after their arrivals and later met together over iftar, the ritual meal at sunset ending the Moslem fast in the holy month of Ramadan. Rabin, who arrived in Cairo shortly after Arafat, told veterans of his Labor party in Israel before he left that he would demand that the PLO do more to stop Palestinian attacks on Israelis. In response Israel has closed off the occupied territories completely, denying Palestinians entry into Israel. The Palestinian Authority claims that the closure of the territories is a measure of collective punishment and is hurting the Palestinians economically.
