Palestine-Israel Talks in Moscow May Break Middle East Political Deadlock
RAMALLAH (Sputnik) – Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, on a visit to Poland earlier in the day, said Israeli officials wanted to postpone his September 9 meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which was offered by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We are grateful to the head of the Palestinian Authority Abbas for his agreement in principle with President Putin’s proposal. We continue to maintain contacts and to consult with both parties to reach an agreement on the form, content and date of the meeting," Bogdanov said.

Palestine’s Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal told Sputnik on Monday that Abbas and Netanyahu looked set to meet in Moscow, but the exact timing was not defined.

A diplomatic source told Sputnik in August that the two leaders were considering coming to Moscow for Russia-mediated talks in late September, although the plan was not confirmed officially by either side.
