Foreign Minister, Palestinian PM to meet in W. Bank Wednesday

By The Associated Press

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is scheduled to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayad on Wednesday in the West Bank town of Jericho, officials in Fayad's office said Sunday.

The foreign ministers of Jordan and Japan will also attend the meeting, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev confirmed that efforts to work out a meeting Wednesday with the Palestinians were under way.

Israel and the Palestinians have been trying to work out differences blocking the resumption of peace talks ever since moderate Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas expelled the militant Hamas from government in June, in the wake of the Islamic group's violent takeover of the Gaza Strip.

The United States is prodding the sides to renew negotiations and has set a meeting of regional leaders for the fall. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met Abbas in Jericho last week.
