No progress after talks
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas gave no indication yesterday of any resumption soon of peace talks with Israel, despite optimism of progress voiced by officials on both sides.
Abbas met Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, but did not make any comment at a brief news conference about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal for an Egyptian-hosted summit with Abbas.
