Quds, Dhu-AlHijjah 18, 1432, Nov 14, 2011, SPA - International mediators from the Middle East Quartet held another round of separate talks with Palestinians and Israelis on Monday, in a bid to revive stalled peace negotiations. Representatives of the quartet - the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia - met at the UN headquarters in Al-Quds (East Jerusalem) with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and a senior official of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, a Palestinian official confirmed. A separate parley between the quartet envoys and aides of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled for the afternoon, according to a report of the German Press Agency "DPA". "So long as Israel continues to violate previous agreements, including its obligations to freeze settlements ... resuming negotiations would be meaningless," Erekat said in a statement Monday, ahead of the morning meeting.
