Ramallah: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet Palestinian and Israeli negotiators in Berlin on Tuesday to try to move peace talks forward, Palestinian and Israeli officials said on Monday.
Palestinian negotiators said Rice planned to hold a trilateral meeting in Europe during her visit to Israel and the Palestinian areas 10 days ago to help bridge gaps between the sides and try to reach agreement by the end of this year.
The talks will be held on the sidelines of a donors' conference in Berlin, where delegates from around 50 countries are to discuss funding for projects to strengthen Palestinian police and legal institutions.
"The trilateral meeting will focus on reviewing the negotiations, and will be followed by a bilateral meeting with the Israelis," said senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.
Rice has said that settlement building was harming peace negotiations and had called on Israel and the Palestinians to work harder to close a deal.
