<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; De facto Palestinian  president Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu are still  quiet and refuse to issue any statements about the departure of their  Arab ally Hosni Mubarak from power.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abbas&#8217;s authority, which had launched a  scathing attack on Egyptian protestors in the past few days, preferred  to keep silent and not to make remarks on Mubarak&#8217;s ouster.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Fatah-controlled Wafa news agency only published a brief report on the resignation of Mubarak without official comments.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israel officially announced the closure of  its embassy in Cairo until further notice. Israel is now deeply worried  that Mubarak&#8217;s ouster could lead to the emergence of an Egyptian  government less friendly to it.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In another context, Israel Hayom newspaper  reported that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Israeli government  exchanged recently letters and telegrams to explore avenues for  resuming direct peace talks between the two sides.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to the newspaper, the PA is  making concerted efforts under American auspices to hold this week a  meeting between Abbas and Netanyahu at the latter&#8217;s residence in  occupied Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">It quoted a senior PA official as saying  that these developments came in the wake of the events that broke out in  Egypt, especially since Mubarak&#8217;s regime was acting like a central  bridge of communication between Palestinians and Israelis.</p>
