rav-ovadiah-yosefChacham Ovadia Yosef has written a letter to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, in which he wished him health, following the Egyptian president’s recent medical treatment in Germany and reports about his deteriorating health. “We pray to the creator of the universe to send you full and speedy recovery,” he wrote.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu will hand the letter to Mubarak on behalf of Chacham Ovadia, during the leaders’ scheduled meeting on Wednesday.

“For your highness, President of Egypt Muhammad Hosni Mubarak, may his glory be exalted,” wrote Chacham Ovadiah.

“May you continue to lead you countrymen in majesty, courage and strength, for a lifetime and in peace; may you succeed in all your doings, according to your heart’s desire,” the letter read.

Chacham Ovadiah signed the letter with a warm greeting, “Respectfully yours, in the greatness of your virtue.”

 Chacham Ovadiah and Shas Chairman Eli Yishai have kept in close touch with Mubarak for many years. Only recently, journalist Yotam Feldman, who was arrested in Egypt, was released from custody with the help of Yishai’s mediation.

 Arab media has been reporting about Mubarak’s deteriorating health condition for many years, and recent reports have rekindled the debate over who will inherit the presidency, with his son, Gammal, leading the race.

However, President Mubarak never confirmed such reports and is due to complete his fifth year of his sixth tenure as president. He has yet to announce whether he will compete in the upcoming elections slated for 2011.

Speculations over Mubarak’s health have increased in recent months following his March trip to Germany, where he underwent an operation to remove a gull bladder. Doubts about his medical situation surfaced again last week after Mubarak made a sudden visit to Paris and met with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Daily Arab newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi reported that the Egyptian president conducted medical check ups while visiting the European country.

  1. We’d better daven for Mubarak, because the alternative to him is the Muslim Brotherhood – the grandfather movement of terrorism – and they’re constantly trying to get political power in Egypt. Mubarak’s son is positioned to take over from him, but there are those who doubt he has the power base.

    I remember what it was like to have a border with an openly hostile Egypt. BH those days are over, and we should pray that the situation stays that way.

  2. I wish we were informed as to why we should pray and honor the leader of an enemy nation, one that is currently allowing smuggling tunnels to be built connecting Gaza and Egypt, the tunnels that the IDF bombed and bombed.
