Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Wednesday that his Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Lieberman, is not welcome in Egypt.
"His feet will not step on Egyptian soil as long as he maintains his positions," Aboul Gheit told Russia Today TV.

U.S. envoy George Mitchell will meet with Lieberman for the first time tomorrow.
