Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said on Sunday that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert are to meet in Paris on July 13.
Erekat told reporters in Ramallah that the meeting is planned to be held during an international conference for Middle East countries scheduled for July 13 in France.
Erekat said that chiefs of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators who will attend the conference in Paris, are also scheduled to head to Washington on July 16 for talks with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"The Palestinian team would leave Paris on July 16 and would hold talks with Condoleezza Rice on July 17," said Erekat, adding "the talks would focus on the current peace negotiations between the two sides."
Last week chief Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia said that Washington would host three sessions of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians within the coming three months, in a bid to push the two sides to agree on outstanding issues in their permanent status issues before end of the year.
