Israelis and Palestinians meet, agree to keep talking
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met for the first time in more than a year in Amman on Tuesday and agreed to keep talking at further meetings, Jordan's foreign minister said, adding that Israel had received written Palestinian proposals on borders and security and would respond.
Israel and the Palestinians agreed to begin indirect, American-brokered talks, the US Mideast envoy announced Monday -- ending a 14-month deadlock in peacemaking and representing the Obama administration's first substantive diplomatic achievement here.
