JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting in Egypt with President Hosni Mubarak has been put back by a day and will take place on Wednesday, an Israeli official said on Monday.

Israel Radio said the meeting, which Netanyahu said would be held in Cairo, had been moved to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh due to Mubarak's timetable.

It was not clear why the meeting had been rescheduled.

Netanyahu last week returned from talks in Washington on restarting direct peace talks with the Palestinians and told Sunday's weekly cabinet session that he would discuss these issues with Mubarak.
