President to Meet Israeli PM Tuesday


TEL AVIV, September 29, 2007 (WAFA)-Head of PLO Negotiation Department, Saeb Ereikat said on Saturday that President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will likely meet Tuesday, Harretz reported.

Erikat told reporters that this came as part of their preparations for a U.S.-hosted Mideast peace conference later this fall.

Erekat added that the negotiating teams appointed to draft a joint statement of principles ahead of the conference might at some point participate in the talks.

Olmert and Abbas have met five times in recent months, in an attempt to build trust and find a way to restart peace talks that broke down in 2001.
