Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in May, Israeli Prime Minister's Office (PMO) announced Thursday.

The meeting is expected to take place in the first half of May, before Netanyahu's visit to the U.S. President Barack Obama in mid May.

The exact time and place have yet to be determined, according to a PMO's statement.

On Tuesday, local newspaper Ha'aretz daily reported that Netanyahu would complete the review of Israel's policy on the Middle East by the time he visits the United States.

The prime minister's visit to Egypt will comprise a series of diplomatic activities abroad involving Israeli high profile officials.

Israeli President Shimon Peres will head to the White House this weekend to clarify that the new Israeli government is sticking to the road of peace.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman will kick off a five- day tour next week to Italy, France, Germany and the Czech Republic as his first official visit in Europe since taking office in March.
