AMMAN — Palestinian and Israeli top negotiators are expected to meet “most likely in Amman”, a senior Palestinian official said on Tuesday.

Speaking from Ramallah, the official, who asked to remain unnamed, stopped short from confirming reports that exploratory talks Jordan hosted this year between the two sides would resume, but said there is a plan that Palestinian top negotiator Saeb Erekat and Israeli counterpart Yitzhak Molcho would meet today, either in Cairo or Amman, “but most likely in Amman”.

Agence France-Presse reported that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are to hold renewed talks, in what would be their first public meeting in more than two months, quoting an unnamed senior official as saying on Tuesday.

“There are preparations with the Israeli side to have a meeting between Saeb Erekat and Yitzhak Molcho in the next few hours or days,” the senior Palestinian official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
