Israel, Palestinians to hold next round of talks in West Bank

The next substantive round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians will reportedly be held in the West Bank. The decision was one of the outcomes of the meeting between the two delegations in Jerusalem on Wednesday. The meeting, which came after a preliminary gathering in Washington two weeks ago, was cloaked in secrecy to prevent leaks to the media. The meeting was attended by chief negotiator and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, the Prime Minister’s special envoy Yitzhak Molcho on the Israeli side, and chief negotiator Saeb Erekat and Fatah official Mohammed Shatyeh on the Palestinian side.
