Erekat: Olmert, Abbas to hold talks Tuesday in Jerusalem
By The Associated Press
Tags: PA, Mahmoud Abbas 

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet Tuesday as part of recently re-launched efforts to push ahead with peace talks, a Palestinian negotiator said Sunday.

The meeting will take place at Olmert's Jerusalem residence, said the negotiator, Saeb Erekat.

Prime Minister's Office spokesman Mark Regev said the date was not firm, but that Abbas and Olmert were trying to arrange a meeting in coming days.

The two sides re-launched talks in November at a peace conference hosted by U.S. President George W. Bush, and set a December 2008 target for reaching a final accord.

Erekat denied reports that the two sides have moved closer on deciding the fate of Jerusalem. The Palestinians want to establish their future capital in the eastern sector of the city, which Israel annexed after capturing it in 1967.

"There are talks going on but I wouldn't use the word progress," Erekat said.
