Quartet proposes meeting between PA, Israel in Jordan

The US State Department announced Tuesday night in Washington that the so-called Quartet of Middle East mediators has proposed a meeting between Israeli and Palestinian Authority representatives in Jordan, Israel Radio reported.
State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that that these would be the initial talks in renewed peace negotiations, and expressed hope that the two sides would respond positively to the proposal.
Were the two sides to sit down and begin peace talks, it would follow through on the Quartet's call last month for renewed peace negotiations.
