Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will not run for president again: report - NYPOST.com: "President Hosni Mubarak is expected to say in a speech Tuesday night that he plans on stepping down at the next election scheduled in September, according to Reuters.
He does plan to stay in office until then to meet the demands of the protesters.
Al-Jazeera reports that the Egyptian Embassy in Tel Aviv is making preparations to welcome him into exile.
Egyptian military police have installed a barbed wire fence around Mubarak's presidential palace in response to protesters marching there Wednesday, according to Al-Jazeera.
This comes as more than a quarter-million people flooded Cairo's main square in a stunning and jubilant array of young and old, urban poor and middle class professionals, mounting by far the largest protest yet in a week of unrelenting demands for President Hosni Mubarak to leave after nearly 30 years in power."
