Occupied Jerusalem: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is meeting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday, officials said.

The next round of talks is expected to take place in Occupied Jerusalem. The leaders last met on August 6.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said on Friday that Abbas and Olmert would meet to "review the negotiations and the final status issues".

The leaders would also discuss a peace "road map" that demands Israel halt settlement building in occupied territory and that Palestinians rein in militants, Erekat said.
