A meeting between Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and the US Middle East envoy George Mitchell has been delayed to Wednesday, the chief Palestinian negotiator said.
The first such meeting since indirect peace talks with Israel were formally relaunched on May 9 was to be held Tuesday but it was rescheduled, Saeb Erakat told AFP on Monday, without providing further details. US officials have said Mitchell is expected in the region this week but they have not yet said when he would arrive or released details about his schedule. (AFP)
