None
Defense Minister Ehud Barak and advisor Attorney Yitzhak Molcho are engaged in marathonic talks with US and Palestinian officials in New York, in an attempt to reach an agreement on the settlement freeze.
Jerusalem said the talks were meant to prevent a standstill in the peace talks and allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet political and coalitional needs which demand the freeze end as scheduled. No agreement has been reached at this time. (Attila Somfalvi)
