The Zionist regime and the Palestinian Authority have held Wednesday a new round of talks in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) amid a strict official news blackout

The Zionist regime and the Palestinian Authority have held Wednesday a new round of talks in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) amid a strict official news blackout.

The Israeli side had previously announced that there would be no statements or pictures from the meeting.

On July 29, the Israelis held direct talks with negotiators from the Palestinian Authority in Washington.

Following the end of the two-day US-brokered talks, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the Palestinian Authority and Israelis would reopen negotiations “within the next two weeks.”

The talks came as Tel Aviv continues refusing to freeze its settlement activities.

On Tuesday, Tel Aviv announced that another 900 new settlements would be built in Gilo in East al-Quds in addition to 1,200 settler homes approved by the entity on Sunday.
