"MK Binyamin Ben-Eliezer offered former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak safe haven in Eilat some months ago, the Labor MK told Army Radio in an interview Wednesday morning. He added that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was a party to the offer. Mubarak, however, "is a patriot and therefore declined the request," Ben-Eliezer said. "I told him that the distance between Sharm e-Shiekh to Eilat is short, and that I knew he is sick."" You almost want to cry when you read this. The friendship between Mubarak and Israeli war criminals is very touching indeed. (thanks Matthew)
