Omar Suleiman Israel’s favourite to replace Mubarak: WikiLea

Postby hamara » Tue Feb 08, 2011 8:34 pm

London, Feb 8 – Egypt’s new Vice President Omar Suleiman is a long-standing favourite of Israel who spoke daily to the Tel Aviv government via a secret ‘hotline’ to Cairo, US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks have revealed.

Suleiman, who is widely tipped to take over from Hosni Mubarak as president, was named as Israel’s preferred candidate for the job after discussions with American officials in 2008, the Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.


The revelations come after Suleiman began talks with opposition groups on the future for Egypt’s government. Egypt is in the grip of political unrest since protests against Mubarak began Jan 25. The UN estimates that more than 300 people have died in clashes with police.
