(NSI News Source Info) Tel-Aviv, Israel - January 1, 2011: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday following the deadly church bombing in Alexandria, saying that they must stand as a united front against the war on terror.

"All nations which support freedom stand as a united front against the war on terror," Netanyahu told Mubarak regarding Saturday's bombing which killed 21 people and wounded at least 97.

A car bomb exploded outside a church in the early hours of Saturday, targeting worshippers who gathered to mark the New Year in Egypt's northern city of Alexandria. Reports have relayed Egypt's suspicion that "foreign hands" were behind the attack.

Earlier Saturday, Mubarak, in a televised address, vowed to put a stop to terrorism, saying that the terrorists would fail in any plans to destabilize Egypt or divide Muslims and Christians.

Moreover, Netanyahu is due to arrive in Cairo on Thursday to meet with Mubarak and discuss the deadlock in peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Netanyahu sent his National Security Adviser Uzi Arad to Cairo on Tuesday, to meet with the Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, in order to prepare for Netanyahu's meeting with Mubarak. Arad spoke with Suleiman about the peace process impasse, the situation in the Gaza Strip, and Iran.
