Hebrew/Eng/Nat
Israel's popular president was re-elected to a second five-year term on Wednesday.
Ezer Weizman won the election by a 63-to-49 vote in the Israeli Parliament, or Knesset, despite a strong challenge by a member of the ruling party.
He's popular with the public, but his sharp tongue and a tendency to meddle have also won him a long list of enemies on both sides of Israeli politics.
Waiting for the news in his official residence in Jerusalem on Wednesday -- Israel's president.
But it was good news for Ezer Weizman -- Israel's parliament had reelected him to another five-year term by a clear majority.
There were congratulations for his main opponent, Shaul Amor, who had the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I am very glad that it ended the way it ended. I congratulate Mr Amor, I had a long talk with the Prime Minister and am waiting for the next years to come. Thank you very much, that's all, thank you very much."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, President of Israel
Weizman has served as defence minister and played a key role in negotiating Israel's peace agreement with Egypt.
His wife said she was pleased the vote went in her husband's favour.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But it's a good feeling that it's over because the tension before is a little bit affecting you."
SUPER CAPTION: Reuman Weizman, President's wife
Weizman had also pushed Netanyahu to do more for Mideast peace.
Although there was no mention of Netanyahu's views on that.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"This is a triumph for Israeli democracy, we have the decision of the people as represented by the vote of the Knesset, we have a new president, a good president and one that I and the people of Israel will work with, and he will work with me."
SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister
Weizman won 63 votes in the 120-member parliament, while Shaul Amor received 49 votes.
Eight members didn't vote.
Amor was conciliatory in defeat.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"I want to wish him luck down the road and I hope he will fulfil my wishes regarding Israel's unity, taking care of the gaps in the Israeli nation and we will only gain if he does that."
SUPER CAPTION: Shaul Amor, defeated Israeli presidential candidate
Similar praise from the main opposition leader.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"What the people of Israel want by having the best candidate elected by his Knesset to be a president. It is clear that the public admire and love Ezer Weizman and also want him to be a president."
SUPER CAPTION: Ehud Barak, opposition Labour Party leader
During Weizman's first term, he won Israel's heart with his irreverent approach to the ceremonial post.
The people also liked his ability to express the country's mood during the roller-coaster years of peace accords and suicide bombings.

English/Nat
The Israeli President, Ezer Weizman, travelled to Gaza on Tuesday for talks with Yasser Arafat, amid hopes that he could restart the peace process.
U-S Envoy Dennis Ross is expected to return to the Middle East after the meeting - the first high-level contact for several months.
The peace process stalled in March, when Israel enraged the Palestinians by breaking ground on a new Jewish settlement in east Jerusalem.
The Erez border crossing between Israel and Gaza was the site of Tuesday's high-level meeting between P-L-O leader Arafat and President Weizman.
Although Weizman is politically a figurehead, he is a strong supporter of peacemaking and much respected by the Palestinians.
He told reporters that the meeting had to start with the basics - rebuilding trust between the two sides.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have a problem of ice, how to break the ice."
Q: "Do you think something practical will come out of this meeting?"
A: "Insh'allah. I wouldn't have come here had I thought that nothing would come. I don't want to say that something will come definitely, but I said I hope so."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, Israeli President
The greeting between the two men appeared cordial, but many obstacles will have to be overcome to move the peace process forward.
Media reports before the meeting said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was willing to resume negotiations as long as Arafat ordered intelligence-sharing with Israel to resume.
Netanyahu and Weizman met Monday night and - according to Israeli media - the Prime Minister authorised Weizman to offer Arafat a series of concessions.
Reports said these included commitments to allow the building of air and sea ports in Gaza, building new Palestinian housing in Jerusalem and the establishment of safe passage routes between the West Bank and Gaza.
However, Israeli officials said Monday they would not agree to the Palestinians' central demand - stopping construction of the Har Homa settlement on an east Jerusalem hilltop known to Arabs as Jebel Abu Ghneim.
Palestinians have repeatedly insisted that this was a key issue to resolve the crisis.

Natural Sound
Israeli president Ezer Weizman and his wife Reuma have arrived in London for a state visit and a royal welcome.
Weizman is the first Israeli president to make a state visit to Britain.
The Israeli president was driven in style to Buckingham palace in a carriage pulled by six horses.
He was given a warm welcome as he arrived Tuesday with his London-born wife Reuma.
The Israeli national anthem was playing as their carriage - the Irish State Coach - pulled up at the palace.
The Weizman's had arrived by car from Victoria Station, after a trip in the Royal Train from Gatwick, where the Duke of York had met the Presidential aircraft.
After lunch at the Palace, the president and Mrs Weizman visited Westminster Abbey to lay a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
President Weizman was born in Israel but volunteered for the R-A-F during the Second World War, serving as a fighter pilot in Egypt and India.
On a political note, Foreign Office officials praised Weizman's commitment to the Middle East peace process.
A state banquet will be held at Buckingham Palace Tuesday night in their honour.
But first the Weizmans met leaders of Britain's Jewish community at the palace.
The group of more than twenty included Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Eldred Tabachnik, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

Hebrew/Arabic/Eng/Nat
Israeli President Ezer Weizman says he wants to meet Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
He made the announcement on Sunday after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who has so far refused to meet Arafat.
Weizman plans to invite Arafat to his home for the crucial meeting.
President Ezer Weizman's invitation to Yasser Arafat has been seen by some in Israel as undermining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has said he isn't prepared to meet Arafat until he is satisfied with Israeli security.
The Israeli press has reported that Weizman may have told Netanyahu to meet Arafat.
But this was denied on Sunday.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Q: "Mr President did you urge the Prime Minister to meet Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Netanyahu are you more likely to meet Yasser Arafat now?"
A: "I told the Prime Minister that at an appropriate time, that he will consider, that we shall consult between the two of us, he doesn't have to take my opinion as a must, but he consults with me and I consult with him. I said it eventually, it is - in due course - to meet after certain things have been achieved."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, Israeli President
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"This is precisely right. The report says the president indicated about any kind of ultimatum that he gave me is nonsense. He never gave one, he would never think of giving one. We had a discussion about the possible meetings, myself, the president. We agreed that this will be done in coordination between the two of us at the appropriate time based on certain developments, and that is exactly how things are done. The press reports in this and in many other things are not always accurate."
SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime minister
Weizman plans to see Arafat at his private home in the northern Israeli coastal town of Caesarea.
To invite the Palestinian Authority Leader to Jerusalem would be seen as too controversial in Israel.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"We have exchanged opinions and agreed that a meeting will take place, the date hasn't been scheduled yet. It will take place at my home which is the proper place for it."
SUPERCAPTION: Ezer Weizman, President
Last week Weizman received a letter from Arafat expressing unhappiness with progress in the peace process.
But Palestinians are pleased that Weizman has extended an invitation to their leader.
SOUNDBITE:
"This meeting is very important, but the time has not been scheduled yet."
SUPERCAPTION: Nabil Shaath, minister of planning for Palestinian Authority
Palestinian officials, meanwhile, said Israel had asked to resume negotiations next week on unresolved issues such as the Israeli troop withdrawal from the West Bank town of Hebron.

Hosni Mubarak
Muhammad Hosni El Sayed Mubarak (Arabic: محمد حسني السيد مبارك, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mæˈħæmmæd ˈħosni (ʔe)sˈsæjjed moˈbɑːɾɑk], Muḥammad Ḥusnī Sayyid Mubārak ; born 4 May 1928) is a former Egyptian military and political leader who served as the fourth President of Egypt from 1981 to 2011.
Before he entered politics, Mubarak was a career officer in the Egyptian Air Force. He served as its commander from 1972 to 1975 and rose to the rank of air chief marshal. Some time in the 1950s, he returned to the Air Force Academy as an instructor, remaining there until early 1959. He was appointed Vice President of Egypt by President Anwar Sadat in 1975 and assumed the presidency on 14 October 1981, eight days after Sadat's assassination.

Mubarak stepped down after 18 days of demonstrations during the 2011 Egyptian revolution. On 11 February 2011, Vice President Omar Suleiman announced that Mubarak had resigned as president and transferred authority to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.

2:30ISRAEL: PRESIDENT EZER WEIZMAN PLANS TO MEET YASSER ARAFAT UPDATE
ISRAEL: PRESIDENT EZER WEIZMAN PLANS TO MEET YASSER ARAFAT UPDATEISRAEL: PRESIDENT EZER WEIZMAN PLANS TO MEET YASSER ARAFAT UPDATE
Hebrew/Arabic/Eng/Nat Israeli President Ezer Weizman says he wants to meet Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He made the announcement on Sunday after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who has so far refused to meet Arafat. Weizman plans to invite Arafat to his home for the crucial meeting. President Ezer Weizman's invitation to Yasser Arafat has been seen by some in Israel as undermining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu has said he isn't prepared to meet Arafat until he is satisfied with Israeli security. The Israeli press has reported that Weizman may have told Netanyahu to meet Arafat. But this was denied on Sunday. SOUNDBITE: (English) Q: "Mr President did you urge the Prime Minister to meet Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Netanyahu are you more likely to meet Yasser Arafat now?" A: "I told the Prime Minister that at an appropriate time, that he will consider, that we shall consult between the two of us, he doesn't have to take my opinion as a must, but he consults with me and I consult with him. I said it eventually, it is - in due course - to meet after certain things have been achieved." SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, Israeli President SOUNDBITE: (English) "This is precisely right. The report says the president indicated about any kind of ultimatum that he gave me is nonsense. He never gave one, he would never think of giving one. We had a discussion about the possible meetings, myself, the president. We agreed that this will be done in coordination between the two of us at the appropriate time based on certain developments, and that is exactly how things are done. The press reports in this and in many other things are not always accurate." SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime minister Weizman plans to see Arafat at his private home in the northern Israeli coastal town of Caesarea. To invite the Palestinian Authority Leader to Jerusalem would be seen as too controversial in Israel. SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew) "We have exchanged opinions and agreed that a meeting will take place, the date hasn't been scheduled yet. It will take place at my home which is the proper place for it." SUPERCAPTION: Ezer Weizman, President Last week Weizman received a letter from Arafat expressing unhappiness with progress in the peace process. But Palestinians are pleased that Weizman has extended an invitation to their leader. SOUNDBITE: "This meeting is very important, but the time has not been scheduled yet." SUPERCAPTION: Nabil Shaath, minister of planning for Palestinian Authority Palestinian officials, meanwhile, said Israel had asked to resume negotiations next week on unresolved issues such as the Israeli troop withdrawal from the West Bank town of Hebron.

Israel's popular president was re-elected to a second five-year term on Wednesday.
Ezer Weizman won the election by a 63-to-49 vote in the Israeli Parliament, or Knesset, despite a strong challenge by a member of the ruling party.
He's popular with the public, but his sharp tongue and a tendency to meddle have also won him a long list of enemies on both sides of Israeli politics.
Waiting for the news in his official residence in Jerusalem on Wednesday -- Israel's president.
But it was good news for Ezer Weizman -- Israel's parliament had reelected him to another five-year term by a clear majority.
There were congratulations for his main opponent, Shaul Amor, who had the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I am very glad that it ended the way it ended. I congratulate Mr Amor, I had a long talk with the Prime Minister and am waiting for the next years to come. Thank you very much, that's all, thank you very much."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, President of Israel
Weizman has served as defence minister and played a key role in negotiating Israel's peace agreement with Egypt.
His wife said she was pleased the vote went in her husband's favour.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But it's a good feeling that it's over because the tension before is a little bit affecting you."
SUPER CAPTION: Reuman Weizman, President's wife
Weizman had also pushed Netanyahu to do more for Mideast peace.
Although there was no mention of Netanyahu's views on that.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"This is a triumph for Israeli democracy, we have the decision of the people as represented by the vote of the Knesset, we have a new president, a good president and one that I and the people of Israel will work with, and he will work with me."
SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister
Weizman won 63 votes in the 120-member parliament, while Shaul Amor received 49 votes.
Eight members didn't vote.
Amor was conciliatory in defeat.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"I want to wish him luck down the road and I hope he will fulfil my wishes regarding Israel's unity, taking care of the gaps in the Israeli nation and we will only gain if he does that."
SUPER CAPTION: Shaul Amor, defeated Israeli presidential candidate
Similar praise from the main opposition leader.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"What the people of Israel want by having the best candidate elected by his Knesset to be a president. It is clear that the public admire and love Ezer Weizman and also want him to be a president."
SUPER CAPTION: Ehud Barak, opposition Labour Party leader
During Weizman's first term, he won Israel's heart with his irreverent approach to the ceremonial post.
The people also liked his ability to express the country's mood during the roller-coaster years of peace accords and suicide bombings.

English/Nat
The Israeli President, Ezer Weizman, travelled to Gaza on Tuesday for talks with Yasser Arafat, amid hopes that he could restart the peace process.
U-S Envoy Dennis Ross is expected to return to the Middle East after the meeting - the first high-level contact for several months.
The peace process stalled in March, when Israel enraged the Palestinians by breaking ground on a new Jewish settlement in east Jerusalem.
The Erez border crossing between Israel and Gaza was the site of Tuesday's high-level meeting between P-L-O leader Arafat and President Weizman.
Although Weizman is politically a figurehead, he is a strong supporter of peacemaking and much respected by the Palestinians.
He told reporters that the meeting had to start with the basics - rebuilding trust between the two sides.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have a problem of ice, how to break the ice."
Q: "Do you think something practical will come out of this meeting?"
A: "Insh'allah. I wouldn't have come here had I thought that nothing would come. I don't want to say that something will come definitely, but I said I hope so."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, Israeli President
The greeting between the two men appeared cordial, but many obstacles will have to be overcome to move the peace process forward.
Media reports before the meeting said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was willing to resume negotiations as long as Arafat ordered intelligence-sharing with Israel to resume.
Netanyahu and Weizman met Monday night and - according to Israeli media - the Prime Minister authorised Weizman to offer Arafat a series of concessions.
Reports said these included commitments to allow the building of air and sea ports in Gaza, building new Palestinian housing in Jerusalem and the establishment of safe passage routes between the West Bank and Gaza.
However, Israeli officials said Monday they would not agree to the Palestinians' central demand - stopping construction of the Har Homa settlement on an east Jerusalem hilltop known to Arabs as Jebel Abu Ghneim.
Palestinians have repeatedly insisted that this was a key issue to resolve the crisis.

However, Israeli officials said Monday they would not agree to the Palestinians' central demand - stopping construction of the Har Homa settlement on an east Jerusalem hilltop known to Arabs as Jebel Abu Ghneim.
Palestinians have repeatedly insisted that this was a key issue to resolve the crisis.

Natural Sound
Israeli president Ezer Weizman and his wife Reuma have arrived in London for a state visit and a royal welcome.
Weizman is the first Israeli president to make a state visit to Britain.
The Israeli president was driven in style to Buckingham palace in a carriage pulled by six horses.
He was given a warm welcome as he arrived Tuesday with his London-born wife Reuma.
The Israeli national anthem was playing as their carriage - the Irish State Coach - pulled up at the palace.
The Weizman's had arrived by car from Victoria Station, after a trip in the Royal Train from Gatwick, where the Duke of York had met the Presidential aircraft.
After lunch at the Palace, the president and Mrs Weizman visited Westminster Abbey to lay a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
President Weizman was born in Israel but volunteered for the R-A-F during the Second World War, serving as a fighter pilot in Egypt and India.
On a political note, Foreign Office officials praised Weizman's commitment to the Middle East peace process.
A state banquet will be held at Buckingham Palace Tuesday night in their honour.
But first the Weizmans met leaders of Britain's Jewish community at the palace.
The group of more than twenty included Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Eldred Tabachnik, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

Hebrew/Arabic/Eng/Nat
Israeli President Ezer Weizman says he wants to meet Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
He made the announcement on Sunday after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who has so far refused to meet Arafat.
Weizman plans to invite Arafat to his home for the crucial meeting.
President Ezer Weizman's invitation to Yasser Arafat has been seen by some in Israel as undermining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has said he isn't prepared to meet Arafat until he is satisfied with Israeli security.
The Israeli press has reported that Weizman may have told Netanyahu to meet Arafat.
But this was denied on Sunday.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Q: "Mr President did you urge the Prime Minister to meet Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Netanyahu are you more likely to meet Yasser Arafat now?"
A: "I told the Prime Minister that at an appropriate time, that he will consider, that we shall consult between the two of us, he doesn't have to take my opinion as a must, but he consults with me and I consult with him. I said it eventually, it is - in due course - to meet after certain things have been achieved."
SUPER CAPTION: Ezer Weizman, Israeli President
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"This is precisely right. The report says the president indicated about any kind of ultimatum that he gave me is nonsense. He never gave one, he would never think of giving one. We had a discussion about the possible meetings, myself, the president. We agreed that this will be done in coordination between the two of us at the appropriate time based on certain developments, and that is exactly how things are done. The press reports in this and in many other things are not always accurate."
SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime minister
Weizman plans to see Arafat at his private home in the northern Israeli coastal town of Caesarea.
To invite the Palestinian Authority Leader to Jerusalem would be seen as too controversial in Israel.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"We have exchanged opinions and agreed that a meeting will take place, the date hasn't been scheduled yet. It will take place at my home which is the proper place for it."
SUPERCAPTION: Ezer Weizman, President
Last week Weizman received a letter from Arafat expressing unhappiness with progress in the peace process.
But Palestinians are pleased that Weizman has extended an invitation to their leader.
SOUNDBITE:
"This meeting is very important, but the time has not been scheduled yet."
SUPERCAPTION: Nabil Shaath, minister of planning for Palestinian Authority
Palestinian officials, meanwhile, said Israel had asked to resume negotiations next week on unresolved issues such as the Israeli troop withdrawal from the West Bank town of Hebron.
