JERUSALEM Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have held their latest summit, with officials on both sides warning that stalling the talks could endanger prospects for a treaty this year and foster more violence.
There was no sign of progress Tuesday in the latest round of talks. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Abbas and Olmert "reviewed" the issues without reaching agreement and set another meeting in two weeks. Israel's government spokesman said the two leaders met privately for an hour and with their teams for another hour.
Erekat said Abbas raised concerns about Israel's blockade of Gaza and pushed for the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israel clamped a blockade on Gaza after the Islamic militant Hamas overran the territory in June.
