Israel, Palestinians request fresh mediation session in bid to salvage talks
Both Israel and the Palestinians have asked the US to organize another meeting Monday in an effort to prevent the collapse of peace talks, a US official said.
Chief negotiators from the two sides met Sunday night "to discuss ways to overcome the crisis in the talks," the official said.
An Israeli official described the Sunday session as "business-like" without elaborating. A Palestinian official said his side had submitted conditions for extending the talks beyond the original April 29 deadline for a peace deal. (Reuters)
