The Palestinian and Israeli leaders have invited each other to resume talks, although it does not appear that either of them actually plan to do so any time soon.
The first to extend an invitation was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who said in an interview with Israel's Channel Two that he was willing to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "I still extend a hand to Mr Netanyahu because I believe in peace," he said. "I believe that the people of Israel want peace and that the Palestinian people want peace."
Mr Netanyahu responded: "I heard President Abbas say that if I invite him to meet, he'll come... so I'm inviting him."
However, despite ongoing discussions regarding a possible return of security responsibility for Palestinian cities to the Palestinian Authority, no talks are under way.
