Israel, Palestinians agree on step toward new talks - CNN.com

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to come forward with
proposals on security and territory issues within the next three months, the
European Union said, in a development that keeps alive hopes for renewed peace
talks.
It comes after representatives from both sides met separately with envoys from
the Middle East Quartet -- made up of the United States, the European Union,
the United Nations and Russia -- and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair
in Jerusalem on Wednesday, an EU statement said.
Both Israel and the Palestinians expressed their readiness "to overcome the
current obstacles and resume direct bilateral negotiations without delay or
preconditions," the EU said, in line with a Quartet statement issued September
23.
In that statement, the Quartet called on Israel and the Palestinians to resume
peace talks within a month, and set the end of 2012 as the deadline for their
completion.
It also "affirmed its determination to actively and vigorously seek a
comprehensive resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict" on the basis of numerous
U.N. Security Council resolutions, previous agreements between the two sides
and "the roadmap," a reference to the proposed plan for Middle East peace laid
out by the quartet in 2003.
The roadmap calls on each side to take a series of steps, including
Palestinians undertaking "an unconditional cessation of violence" and Israel
freezing "all settlement activity."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's special envoy, attorney Yitzhak
Molcho, met Quartet representatives Wednesday to discuss ways to resume direct
talks with the Palestinians, without preconditions.
It was decided that the sides would coordinate on a date to resume their
discussions, the Israelis said.
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told reporters in Ramallah that
Palestinian officials had told Quartet members they were willing to engage in
any effort to resume peace talks "provided that the Israeli side honor its
commitments emanating from the roadmap, when we say Israel must stop settlement
activities including in Jerusalem and accept the two state solution of 1967.
"These are not Palestinian conditions, these are Israeli obligations."
The Palestinians had passed documents concerning Israeli settlement building
and the release of Palestinian prisoners to the Quartet representatives, he
said.
Envoys from the Quartet will meet regularly over the next 90 days with
representatives from both sides, the EU said.
The envoys reiterated the Quartet's call for Israelis and Palestinians to
"refrain from provocative actions if negotiations are to be effective," the EU
statement added.
Peace talks between the two sides fell apart over a year ago over disagreements
on the issue of Israeli West Bank settlements.
Coming off a self-imposed 10-month halt in settlement construction, Israel said
it would not renew the freeze. This led the Palestinians to quit the
negotiations.
Last month, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas made a bid for the
United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state, a move Israel says is
premature without direct talks that address its longstanding security concerns.
