Egypt Focus of Meeting Between Clinton and Israel


Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, has wrapped up a 12-day, nine-nation tour in Israel. Clinton's trip, in which she met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, comes days after her trip to Egypt, where she became the highest ranking US official to meet with Mohammed Morsi, the newly-elected Egyptian president. The integrity of the 30-year peace treaty between Cairo and Tel Aviv was a central theme of Clinton's meetings with Binyamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, and Shimon Peres, president of Israel. Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan reports from Jerusalem.
