Israeli and Palestinian negotiators held another secret round of 'peace' talks over the weekend, a Palestinian official said on Monday, adding that there had been "no breakthrough" so far.

"A round of talks was held on Saturday evening between the Israelis and Palestinians -- this is the fourth round," since they restarted more than a month ago, the official stated.

"But the talks have achieved no breakthrough so far," the official added.

He said another meeting was likely to be held on Tuesday, but slammed the Zionist Entity, saying it was "not prepared for any progress" any time soon.

The official gave no details of the time and place of Tuesday's expected meeting.

Talks between the two sides were relaunched during initial meetings in Washington at the end of July after intense diplomatic efforts have taken place under a media blackout.
