Egypt's President Mohammad Mursi’s spokesman Yassir Ali denied in an interview with the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper on Wednesday that Mursi sent a letter to Zionist President Shimon Peres.
  
The Zionist leader’s office had said on Tuesday that Mursi wrote to Peres pledging to revive the “Israeli-Palestinian peace talks”.
  
"President Mursi did not send any letters to the Israeli president," Mursi said, calling reports that he had done so "slander."
  
Peres's office had quoted Mursi as saying that he looked "forward to exerting our best efforts to get the Middle East peace process back to its right track."
  
Peres sent Mursi a letter of congratulations following his election as the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
