Mubarak: the anti-Israeli potentate (and this from aljazeera website)

"Mubarak had a rocky relationship with Israel, and held America's closest Middle East ally at arm's length throughout his presidency. For almost ten of his 30 years in office, Egypt had no ambassador in Tel Aviv. Mubarak never made an official state visit to Israel, and he frequently refused Israeli prime ministers' requests to come to Cairo. When the US sought to extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1994, Mubarak mobilised the Arab world against the initiative, because Israel refused to sign the NPT."  Is the Zionist author talking about Mubarak or about George Habash? I was confused a bit.  (thanks Christian)
