A senior Palestinian official urged the United States on Monday to make clear that the indirect Mideast peace talks it has proposed will deal with key outstanding issues including borders, settlements and the future status of Jerusalem.
Nasser Al-Kidwa, who is being promoted by Fatah insiders as a candidate in the next presidential election, said he and many other Palestinians don't understand what the talks proposed by the Obama administration will lead to, and want assurances that they will be a step toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.
