Palestinian sources said that a meeting in Amman between the Zionist Regime and Palestinian negotiators scheduled for later in the day would be the last

Palestinian sources said Wednesday that a meeting in Amman between the Zionist Regime and Palestinian negotiators scheduled for later in the day would be the last, Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported.

They highlighted that the International Quartet placed huge pressure on the Palestinian side after the leadership said it wouldn’t join further meetings with the Israelis, Ma'an cited the unnamed sources as saying.
Jordan and the European Union will sponsor Amman’s meeting, and Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Israeli negotiator Yitzhak Molcho will head the teams.

PLO official Hanna Amirah told reporters the Palestinian leadership would not take a decision to extend negotiations with the Israeli side because the Netanyahu government “doesn’t seek at this stage to achieve any positive progress in the peace process with the Palestinian Authority.”

Palestinian officials pointed out that a series of internal meetings would be held first in Palestine, then in Egypt after President Mahmoud Abbas returns from his Europe tour. The Arab follow-up committee will also convene on Feb. 29 to discuss peace negotiations with Israel.

EU wants Israelis-Palestinians turn into 'genuine' talks

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said that informal talks between the Zionist regime and the Palestinians must continue and eventually turn into "genuine" negotiations. "I am a realist about where we are but I am a passionate believer that we need to keep talks going and increase the potential of these talks to become genuine negotiations," she told reporters in Gaza City.
  
"So we are looking to see what we can do to help, but at the end this is a discussion that needs to take place between the two sides." Ashton, who arrived on Tuesday for a three-day visit to the region, said the purpose of her trip was to "keep things moving".

Ashton said she had held talks with Palestinian premier Salam Fayyad late on Tuesday "to try and see what we can do to help keep things moving." The EU's top diplomat was to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening before heading to Amman where she was to meet with Abbas on Thursday.
