Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for talks with President Hosni Mubarak.
The two leaders are expected to discuss the latest Palestinian developments and preparations for an upcoming Mideast peace conference in Annapolis in the US.
Olmert is expected to seek Mubarak's help in rallying Arab support for the summit.

Talks on Monday between Israeli and Palestinian leaders made little progress towards narrowing considerable gaps, mainly over the expansion of Israeli settlements.
This has dimmed hopes for a joint declaration of principles in time for the Annapolis summit.
