Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will discuss the state of the failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry in a final attempt to salvage the situation, AFP reported on Monday.
Abbas is set to meet with Kerry on Wednesday in London, the report stated.
A Palestinian official told AFP that during the meeting the two leaders will discuss the possibility of restarting the talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
"The meeting will discuss a possible resumption of negotiations with Israel," the official said. "It could be the last attempt by Kerry to revive negotiations," the Palestinian official said.
The nine-month deadline for the talks passed on April 29. Immediately following the expiration date, Abbas signed a unity agreement with Hamas leaders, angering both Israel and the US and derailing immediate possibility of restarting the talks.
In response, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that Abbas needed to choose whether he wants peace with Israel or Hamas, because he cannot have both.
Last Thursday, US envoy Martin Indyk placed blame on both parties for what he prescribed as a "breakdown" in negotiations.
