Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that his exchange of letters with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had "arrived at a dead end," in an interview with Lebanese daily Al Nahar published on Thursday.

Abbas sent Netanyahu a letter last month expressing his demands that Israel freeze settlement construction and recognize the pre-1967 lines as the basis for a two-state solution. Netanyahu's response was delivered to Abbas earlier this month. He is believed to have reiterated a willingness to begin direct negotiations immediately, with no preconditions.
