Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert arrived in Egypt on Tuesday and went straight into talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on the fragile truce in the Gaza Strip.

"The two leaders will speak about what happens after the truce," which came into force last Thursday between the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and Israel in and around Gaza, an Egyptian presidential source told AFP.

The two were also expected to discuss Cairo's bid to broker a prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas which rules Gaza.
