A delegation of members of Knesset will travel to Washington next week<br />and meet with Egyptian parliament members, including members of the<br />Muslim Brotherhood. The rare meeting will take place days after the<br />second round of presidential elections in Egypt, and will be mediated<br />by American officials. Sources in the Knesset said the trip was<br />initiated and partly funded by the Foreign Ministry, with the aim of<br />opening a new channel of communication that could lead to talks<br />between higher ranks in the future.
